Along life’s winding, endless way,
Beneath the sky so vast and grey,
Before the memories fade from view,
Though never mine… I love you.
To calm this heart’s unspoken cry,
I had no right—but still I try.
Before the sighs could all be through,
Though never mine… I love you.
To hold your gaze in quiet grace,
And write your name in time and space.
Before my beating heart withdrew,
Though never mine… I love you.
To quench the flame within my tears,
I could not—but I stayed near.
To be your moon when nights felt blue,
Though never mine… I love you.
