Unrequited Love

I’m so amazed that in your eyes

I glimpse a soul that’s just like mine.

But it’s a shame, for I’m engaged

In a love you just can’t find.

So complicated and so simple

All at the same time.

Our stars are crossed, of this I’m sure

But in a way for now that’s too obscure.

Diminutive discrepancies

from what you do and say

Have on occasion threatened

to push me far away.

But I never fail to forgive you 

when I hear you say my name.

I look forward to the day when our feelings are interchanged.

For now I just ponder the day

When what’s unrequited becomes reciprocal

I try to be happy with what we have

But sometimes it’s just too difficult.

But then I hear you say my name

And all the anguish melts away.

I have hope knowing that one day

Our feelings will be interchanged.
