I wish I didn’t love you, but I do.
Yearning, hoping, waiting watching,
Searching for you in every crowd.
Listening for the sound of your voice, but there is only silence.

I wish I didn’t love you, but I do.
You have tattooed yourself across my soul.
Your kindness, your caring, your mind.
With your absence, I am missing my heart.

I wish I didn’t love you, but I do.
The shape of you calls out to all of me.
The lines of your jaw , your lips, your eyes, all most dear to to me.
Now my vision is empty, and my soul incomplete.

I wish I didn’t love you, but I do.
We never were , but could have been.
The chemistry between us never died.
Just set adrift into eternity.
