I'd like to say, you are my muse.
If you were to leave me, I'd refuse.
The choice I made, I know I won't regret.
You are somebody I could never forget.
Title translated from Latin: "Unrequited Love"

"...if there's one thing I can never regret, it was my decision to follow that faint light in all that blackness..." - D.N.

Love, it really is confusing...

the second saddest word in the dictionary is love
and the first is *unrequited

How I feel can not be understated,
  You are to me a thing of beauty.
  And yet when I see you my heart seems deflated,
  Protecting you is another mans duty.
In the long run this will be okay,
  You are protected and happy.
  That is what matters or so they say,
  I must remember what burden I carry.
In the end I must trust fate,
  To take the proper course of events.
  Perhaps what must be done is merely to wait,
  And wade through my personal sea of torments.
This is after all of my own making,
  A demon that keeps haunting all my dreams.
  Each time I can feel my mind breaking,
   I must then relive this trope again it seems.
Let it never be said that I do not care,
  If anything I care to much at that.
  Waiting is what I must do to be fair,
  In the snarling face of Amore Peribat.
Wrote this a while back, during a period of my life that was very dark.  I have since found a peace in friendship with the object of my affection.

That is good enough for me.  I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing it.
