I know now
I have loved you
for a while.
Your laugh
infectious, just like
your smile.
What I would give
to share your
life
and instead of friend
call you
wife.
But fate has chosen
we shall never
be.
Your heart belongs
to one not
me.
I know now
love takes many forms
one of which
we won’t achieve.
But love like this
bonds the souls
with gifts so wonderful
to receive.
