I keep trying to forget you
As impossible as it seems
But from the first time I met you
You’ve been a fixture in my dreams.

There’s no moment when I see you
I don’t pretend we’re together
Or you felt the same for me too
That your love was “when” not “whether.”

Each time I look into your eyes
I see so much love reflected
But it’s all mine I realize
And I come away rejected.

Although you effortlessly smile
To draw in my adoration
We’re separated by a mile
Of futile anticipation.

I’m going to keep loving you
From first sight until forever
I’ve tried to stop and wanted to
Even though you’ve told me “Never.”
