never imagined
the stirring of fluttered heartbeats inside my soul
set alight when your voice I hear
each and every time
never imagined
unbearable pain of just the thought
of you absent from this world
yet it burns white hot and true
never imagined
provocative teasing thoughts
of what could be, but won't be
and we both know it's real
never imagined
that destiny would arrive
disguised in your smile and your laughter
seared into my being forever
