You stole my heart again with kisses
Placed upon my neck,
With fingers clasped within my hair,
You stole my soul again with wishes
For time together,
With promises laid bare
You stole my mind with longing
For your lips on me,
Words sent through the nethersphere…
And then…
Nothing.
And more nothing.
Until my love,
My soul,
My longing,
Sailed unanswered in the air
You spoke repeated words of friendship,
Promised to uphold my passion…
But what if all my worlds of passion
Are worlds filled
With only
You?
What if you are my aspiration,
My heart’s dream made real and true?
What if you fulfilled my soul’s wish,
Whether or not acquiesced by you?
Would you crush me again
Until I believe the world you do?
That you and I and romance
Exist only in lives we knew?
This is not the end of romance
It is not a sixteen-year-old’s dream
I do not refuse my heart’s chance
I’ll not live my life so lean
So, come back, if dare you, once again
In years hence, when my heart is whole,
When my love for you can live;
Let’s try this friendship, love or lust…
My heart cannot cease to give
