It crossed my mind today
that thing I thought
could never be
yet you make me wonder
why do I want this now
when it might never be
if I begin to hope
wll it only end in pain
or something else
I dream of life
spent with you
while I am here alone
lying in my bed
or watching others
who are fortunate
to have what we may never
or is it truly possible
not so very far away
despite all that might
stand in our way
after all
do I not have more
than mere hope
when I have you
