I don't need to think about love
Somehow it seems it's not meant to be
At least not for me
But there are nights that I still dream
Involuntary
Of someone there to hold me
Of a feeling like comfort or security
And from these dreams I wake
With such foolish tears
Drying on my tired face
Can I be blamed?
For wanting what others have
For grieving the loss of love I've never known
Just an errant thought, of course
I know better than to wish on stars
That shine on us, impassively
And maybe it's true
That I've known too much of hate
To ever offer love to you
But maybe...
But maybe.
And it's like that
That I wonder what more life could be
Without this vague aching
Without this empty part of me
Something I've only felt in my dreams
Just as beautiful and perfect
As it is impossible and fleeting
Or so it always seems
