Echo (July '99)

Echo

 

There's an echo in my soul;

An echo of the one I love.

The feeling's sinilar,

Not quite as strong.

Like the echo of a sound,

Defused and indistinct.

I never realized before,

That a feeling can echo.

It's the echo of love,

I think I may be feeling.

For in the man before me;

I see an echo of the one I held so dear.

My beloved now,

Is so far from me.

And you my friend,

Are so near.

For my honor now,

I fear.

I must hold th my honesty,

Though this echo...

Threatens to overwelm me.

For you see,

My heart you might never touch.

I'm sorry dear friend,

I fear this may be the end.

Always will I love another.
