The Pain of Love

The pain that touches me as I think of you is fierce and numbing.
How I wish that I could be with you.
Be with you on this day, this hour, this minute.
You are in my thoughts always,
And such sorrow you bring.
If only you could love me, care for me, and let me be yours.
The joy of a day that will never come haunts me,
Yet I bathe in the hope that it brings.
The gentleness of your laughter sends shivers down my spine
and pains my heart as I think of you.
If only you knew how I felt.
If only you shared in my dream.
Such happiness it would bring me, if I were yours.
Together we would be perfect.
Together we would be one.
But until that day, if ever, I will be silent in my thoughts.
Silent in my love for you.
For you, I can wait.
Forever, if need be.
For you, I can wait.
