And then

There she is, at a distance,
Too far away as always.
I'm looking,
She the other way.
Doesn't come as a surprise,
No need to hide my guise.
Reflections won't be seen,
Feelings never understood.
Lovers that were never meant to be,
Finding each other, only to be lost again.
Sometimes these things happen,
People meet when they shouldn't.
In life's span, the time is short,
To the heart, its not.
To get battered, and then again.
To see it, feel it, know it,
And wonder why...
Wasn't it enough. Can't it ever be enough?
Must this race go on forever?
Is it a fallacy, the finishing line?
A cruel joke at ruthless hands.
Now its the pain of anticipation,
Of knowing she'll be gone soon.
And knowing it will never end,
Never till...
If only it were that simple,
If it were a breath away.
Lay back and lie satisfied.
But its not. This must be lived.
Do it for all I don't know,
Do it because there's no other way.
Do it cause I can't let go.
Yet.
