Love
Just beyond my fingertips
So close I can almost feel it
The warmth against my skin
The safety that envelopes me.
It's always just out of my reach
I want it to come closer
But it never does
Scared of me it runs away
Why can't I be loved?
I feel it getting closer
But then it's gone
An emotion I will never have returned
Love will not be wasted on me.
I try to find it
I race against time
Hope fails me
Love doesn't want me.
I can't be loved.
It's always right beyond the horizon
I stretch out my fingers as far as they can go
It gets farther and farther away
Until it's gone
Never to return
Never felt completely
What did I do wrong?
