__A Love That Cannot Be__



You and I are different,

Of that none can deny.

You're fair, and pure, and perfect,

"The apple of my eye"



how could I compare,

To such immense beauty?

How could I hope to live up

To all the wonders you bring to me?



After all, I'm just a "Savage"

Just a stupid, wild, thing.

And you're the picture of perfection

The likes of which great minstrels sing.



You're sweeter than the thickest honey,

Than sugar fresh picked from the cane,

And I can't have just one taste of you,

Lest need for you drive me insane.



You're a prince-heir of Imladris,

Future Lord of Rivendell.

And though, I know, we cannot be,

That thought alone is living Hell



I only wish that we could be,

As one-forever more.

If only I could see the future,

To see what Fate does have instore.



If only Fate would find a heart

And grant a lover's dream

And let me hold you-dusk till dawn-

To see in the waning sun, your ebony hair gleam



If only I could hold you tight

And never let you go.

To show my Love for you each night-

A Love that always grows.



If I could wish for anything,

That wish would be for you.

'Cause you embody all that I Love

You are my dream come true.



But I am but a "Savage"

And you are Royalty

So because I'm of the "Pack-Kin"

Ours is a Love that cannot be.
