That's the Way Love Works

I've found him -
The man of my dreams.
He's everything I could
Ever have dreamt of!
He's gorgeous;
He's sweet;
He's kind;
He's honest;
He's loving;
He's creative;
He's inspiring;
He's perfect!

Except, he's not free.

He belongs to someone else;
His heart is held by another,
And me, I become nothing
But a breeze on a cold winter's day;
Nothing but a haze of cloud
Dissipating after a storm;
Nothing but another girl
Joining in the march of the faceless crowd.

But how can it be?
How can the man I have fallen so hard for,
Not be free to be mine?
Why?

I guess that's just the way Love works -
It builds up your hopes;
Filling your every being with undeniable joy,
And then breaks you down,
Shatters your heart,
Confirming every belief that you had
That you will just never be good enough...
