I didn’t have you
But you couldn’t fault me
For dreaming about
Having you in my life

I knew that the feelings
Between us would never
Rise to shine unceasingly
I knew that you had
Rejected me again and again


What I thought we could escalate to
Became unattainable
I had to back away
To give you your space
And as much as it pained
And drained me
I had to sit in solitude
And apply reasoning
To all these unexplained
Feelings of mine

I thought what I was searching for
Was a man like you
That could take me
To a world no one had ever
Taken me before
That if we concatenated
The sensations between us
Would escalate to form
Am undividable bond

I don’t want to face the storm
But I know that there’s
No way out for me
But to take life as it comes
And accept that the affection
And caresses I longed to bless you with
Had to go unnoticed
That all the feelings
I had savored in my inner storeroom
Had to remain there
For me to feel a love
That never had the opportunity
To become mine
