Yet

I love him, Yet I know I can never reach Beyond the wall he uses to hide his heart. I hate him, Yet, I know it is only his rejection, That makes my bitter heart say things I do not mean. I need him, Yet, I know he will never have the need to Reach for the arms that long to hold him close. I want him, Yet, I know that his pride will never allow him To want that which I offer up freely to him. I yearn for him, Yet, I know he will never be able yearn for me, Not in the way that my heart craves to be desired. I love him, Yet, I know he will never be able to return, The aching love that I crave to share with only him. I crave him, Yet, I know he will never be able to crave me Because he does not even know that, my love and I exist.
