Your laughter rings in my ears,
And I can almost feel content.
But not quite.

A smile plays on your lips, 
And I find I smile in return.
But not widely.

Your eyes shine as I stare deep within,
And I can almost see love there.
But not really.

Your radiant face blinds me,
And I am overcome by your beauty.
But not rightfully.

Your voice slices through the air, 
And my ears drink in the music.
But not painlessly.

You give me a hug when you see me,
And then I have to let go. 
But not willingly.

You bid me adeiu and leave for the night,
And I know you'll spend it in a lover's bed.
But not mine.

You're not mine.
