182. Afar

Is it fate that we have never met
To share a glass of champagne or wine?
Where have you been my long lost love?
For without you I’m just biding my time

I’ve seen your face in my dreams
Of blonde hair or was it red
You looked like a angel from above
Bringing me happiness as I lay in bed

Though I’ve never tasted your lips
I’m sure they taste sweeter than honey
To have the chance just to kiss you
I’d gladly give you my heart and my money

Surely you’ve seen me as I stand tall
And watch you from outside your door
Neither a stalker nor a pest have I been
I just learn to be near you some more

Alas I’m just here afar all the same
Who has loved and adored you before today
Though I realize that I would never fit in
I pray that hell freezes over some day

The time has now come when I must go
Having missed another chance to see
But I take pleasure in my vicarious life
Realizing together we’ll never be
