How is it that we are so far away yet so close in many ways. That you hear the beating of my heart and the words I am about to say. How can this be when your love is for another. And yet you say you care, and your dreams are of me. In the silence of your heart. There is no other. When I speak are you listening? Or do my words just fill the air. Tossed amongst the mountains not going anywhere. Is it your thoughtfullness that is alluring or is it the things you say to me. How can this be when your love is for another. Never to be free. You say you cannot leave, I say I cannot go. You say you cannot hurt her I say that's rightfully so. You say that I am different, I say, I can hurt too. You say that things should stay exactly as they are. I say would it be different if you weren't so far away? You say, "I love you both, each in a different way." "Just as both of you are different but here is where I must stay." I say, "then now I understand, the meaning of love." One who will always be near to you, and one who wishes to but never will be. written by: Angel Of Love June 19, 2003
