Know?

Do you know what it’s like?
To yearn to hold someone
too far out of reach?

Do you know what it’s like
to watch longingly as they
Laugh and talk and turn
Away without a second thought?

Have you ever had your
heart throb and burn with
a want so passionate you
can’t just wish it away?

Have you ever looked at
someone with such warm and loving
eyes, only to be dismissed
without them every knowing?

Have you?
Do you?
Why can’t you?

I want you to know. I wish
you could understand how I felt.
I wonder if you’ll ever have
any clue how much you make
my heart ache?
