This Man

Emotionally, spiritually and physically connected
This man I can never have

There will never be anything more
It’s been fun
I want to make you happy

I’m drawn to this man
His lips are sweet and soft
His touch is trembling
Our bodies locked together

I’ve wanted you since the moment I met you
I’ve waited a year and a half
I want to be in your presence very day

He’s an arm length away
I can almost touch him, smell him, feel him
So close to me but so far away

Laughter, chatter, fun, sharing and more laughter
I can’t focus, I can’t think, I’m falling

Our eyes lock and linger
I walk away
My stomach churns
My body walks the lonely trip home
My heart remains

Angry words
Hurt and longing of something more
Resentment of something started
Connected always to this man

He holds my hand
He kisses my lips and stops
I can’t breathe
My senses are racing
The moment is captured

He cares, he doesn’t care
Confused, unsure of how to feel
Will I feel these emotions again

I wish I could have you
The last four months have been the happiest time of my life
I will never forget these times we have had together

Move on, step through the journey of life
Take these lessons and turn the page
Let go of what could have been
Smile and remember

You are so beautiful
You are a great mother
You are so motivated
You look so lovely when you smile

One day my heart will stop breaking
One day there will be love again
