The heart bleeds
The body longs
The mind yearns
It has been too long since I last saw your face
Your eyes – deep and intense
Your smile – innocent and kind
We found comfort in each other’s loneliness
But we didn’t stand a chance
Our love ran deep
But our roots were too easily pulled apart
We had our pasts
But we looked to the future
I can count on one hand the amount of times we saw each other
And how many of those that weren’t forbidden is even less
And then, suddenly, you were gone…
It has been many years since our eyes met across the room
