He ached for a love that would never hold him He yearned for the soft touch of belonging But it never reached him He stayed in the shadows while others bathed in the light of love The warmth never reaching his untouched skin His name never called His presence never wanted His voice never heard But still- He waited Waited for hands that would never caress his But his hands remained unheld Cold and unwanted Yet he tried to be patient For the silent grace of falling in love For the true beauty of it all Like how the moon reflects off the water Both elements creating one beautiful scene Intertwined Together As one But the beauty doesn’t last forever So alone, he lay Left behind by the crowd Even though the emptiness surrounded him He still ached For a love that would never come Love as far away As the moon and the water- Forever

Intertwined
He ached for a love that would never hold him He yearned for the soft touch of belonging But it never reached him He stayed in the shadows while others bathed in the light of love The warmth never reaching his untouched skin His name never called His presence never wanted His voice never heard But still- He waited Waited for hands that would never caress his But his hands remained unheld Cold and unwanted Yet he tried to be patient For the silent grace of falling in love For the true beauty of it all Like how the moon reflects off the water Both elements creating one beautiful scene Intertwined Together As one But the beauty doesn’t last forever So alone, he lay Left behind by the crowd Even though the emptiness surrounded him He still ached For a love that would never come Love as far away As the moon and the water- Forever
