Like I'm missing someone I've yet to even meet
helplessly, I Love You
beyond all doubts and shadow
even slightly the pitiful and shallow hopes
I still to this day possess myself I again repeat
beyond the breath that fills my now before nearly
lifeless lungs with no apparent end
beyond the repression I experienced once at my own
faltering hands
beyond the sight of tomorrow and all her sweet but yet
fully known possibilities
to you alone, I now turn over my starved and empty
soul totally without fear or any aspect of caution
for without you
love could have no real gripping meaning for me.........
