The Poem I Never Learned To Write

You are the poem I never learned to write,
The love that never came to light,
A love story that didn’t have a chance,
Lovers who never learned to dance.

Sweet time together and yet,
Never us, I regret,
As I lay my head down tonight,
I think of the poem I never learned to write.

Oh I am sure many have the same issue, many a poem has never been written, although the heart desired it..
