Love skips pass my doorstep As I wait patiently for it to ring my bell Immune to all the nights my heart wept 25 years without a single love story to tell Love keeps passing me by I wish to experience love’s presence Imagination could never compare to the heated touch of a lover Or the passion filled gaze from fluorescent eyes 25 years without being the object of someone’s desire Love keeps passing me by Love must not love me I’ve waited and contemplated if it will ever knock on my door Each day brings a new shade of disappointment Ashamed to be robbed of the one thing I crave the most Realization dawns on me as I believe Love will always pass me by.
