when will i see your face again

for when you see someone you could have loved, but there's just no chance between the two of you to be together

the first time i saw you,
i kept looking around us,
up the stars, down my feet,
to see if i am all ready dead,
i've never felt so alive,
never felt more at one
with the world, i was scared
i've never felt so loved
by the universe, never felt
i could be any different
from anybody ordinary,
no epiphanies, no conspiracies,
just you and i, looking
at each other, for the last time

To seek the love of one who cannot be is painful and causes us to feel sadness enough to present the thoughts you express. We feel alive, yet know it shall only last in our memory; that hope for more is dead. That last look is like death, even as judged by the universe.

Some relationships are not meant to be....the first time SHOULD be the last time, but too often it goes on and on far too long. Lydi**
