My love, today,as you touch the skies
Look down and sure you'll see
A forlorn banner flying free
Emblazoned with love for thee
The words you read upon it
with the brush of my soul inscribed
Tells of the unrequited yearning
Of my  heart, yours ever to be .

And as your gaze draws a closer
A passion a blazing you'll see
A life consumed in the fire
That burns with desire for thee.
Years, months and hours
of solemn wait tirelessly
For moments of joy a spending
My love, with you endlessly.

Your pictures in my mind I treasure
Each one of them preciously
A story together is woven
Though none of them includes me.
But the embers of hope still burning
Someday will I closely be
Never to bid you goodnight
No mornings where you, I won't see
