Unattainable Love
I love you in close proximity and from afar,
near the bright rays of light and surface;
an intense adoration that is unrequited,
the pulse of your heart belongs to another
Nevertheless, I love you because I know you,
because I know you as you are, who you are
behind the cool interior of your silhouette,
even your imperfections, flaws and secrets
I have relinquished my claim of you as mine,
the one I love unconditionally, so I let go;
always close to my heart, yet unobtainable,
a love that is in vain, my unattainable love
near the bright rays of light and surface;
an intense adoration that is unrequited,
the pulse of your heart belongs to another
Nevertheless, I love you because I know you,
because I know you as you are, who you are
behind the cool interior of your silhouette,
even your imperfections, flaws and secrets
I have relinquished my claim of you as mine,
the one I love unconditionally, so I let go;
always close to my heart, yet unobtainable,
a love that is in vain, my unattainable love
