Looking at her
Hair so playfully toyed with
Lips so lovingly kissed
My mind can no longer acknowledge
The feelings of my heart.
Go I must
Leave I shall
Duty is a pull
I cannot push
Looking at me
Tears fill bright eyes
Despair slumps graceful shoulders
Arms lift
Fingers reach
In vain.
I am beyond.
Beyond acceptance
Beyond Love
Beyond happiness.
Happiness.
My mind can no longer acknowledge
The feelings of my heart.
But for the first time in my life,
I was happy.
Was.
