*You're the best thing I never had
A wound that never scarred
A rough road that was never tarred
a missing piece that finding's hard
You're the game I never played
an event destiny delayed
the blessing for which I should have prayed
You're the reason I feel betrayed
by the bearing of my Life's campus
the vintage painting on my canvas the fear I should have conquered
the scented fruit in the orchard
a charming smile I'll always remember
bears a much coveted glow of an ember
the one reason for my ecstasy
you're an apple my eyes yearn to see
you're a dream that happened so fast
a car that cruised by raising dust
you're a home I'd gladly have
yet you're beyond my league
Like that sweet grape high on the fig
you're an art I crave yet don't deserve*
