Desire
From a distance, he would often watch
As she radiated with such beauty
How he longed just to have her touch
But this love, he knew, wasn't to be
Often they'd meet, most times rather fast
And he'd quickly get lost in her eyes
As friendship grew, a bond was cast
Too bad all he showed was a disguise
Though he longed for her, he knew
What this action was sure to cause
"I'll hurt you," he said, and this would prove true
As the soul breaks to nature's laws
Soon, he said, as he sensed she was fleeting
So he swiftly disposed of his pride
Slowly she faded as his heart kept beating
He could only watch her as she died
Alone once again, he revisits his pain
As he reflects on the time they've spent
A single thought, as he walks through the rain
To have known her touch, her taste, her scent
Though she is gone, within his memories she remains
