I wish you knew
How badly I want
You to love me.
Your words,
Their power
And their tenderness,
They take me higher
Than the touch
Of any other man,
But you've made no secret
Of the limits
To which you will succumb.
You want nothing lasting,
No mention of forever,
You've been down that road,
You say,
And have no desire
To go down it again.
What else can I do
But break the bond
I feel for you
And cast myself
Adrift once more
Upon the sea
Of improbable
Dreams?
Georg
"I want you, but don't get too close" Isn't that how the story always goes. Well written and reminder of romances that have died.
