Unrequited Love in Four Movements
for Cj
© 1997 by Saffron


[ I. | II. | III. | IV. ]


I. All I’ve Got   back to top

Your smiles that make my heart beat faster
My love for you to prove that I’m still alive
Your eyes that look directly into my heart
The past to put perspective on the present
My hands to prove that touch can tingle
The stories of others to prove I am not alone
Your support to hold me together when I’m falling apart
The dreams of a kiss that spark my imagination
My pen that says what my mouth won’t
My tears when words aren’t enough
You
Hope
Me


II. Questions  back to top

Why her, I ask
No Answer
I ask, why me
Again no answer
Am I supposed to ask?
Who will tell me?
I know life isn’t fair
To complain is pointless
You’re in my life for a reason
Don’t worry, I won’t ask why
Is there a reason I’m in yours?
I never thought to ask before.
A lot of questions come to mind
The only constant is my love for you
No questions, No struggles
No conditions, No lies
I love you. No question.


III. Healing  back to top

I woke up with a broken heart
and
tears in my eyes.

You were,
once again,
in my dreams
but this time,
it was different.

You were with someone else.

As the tears fall
I wipe them away.

You look happy.

To me,
your happiness
is important.

I see you
with her;
My smile is
bittersweet
knowing I must move forward
and
leave the familiar pain behind.

The tears fall faster;
I cry out in my pain
knowing, that somewhere,
I am healing.


IV.  Good-bye  back to top

She’s spoken for
I smile
My heart breaks
My emotions
Conflicting
They are walking away from me
They look good together
My heart aches
I wave good-bye
Letting go of the familiar
She waves back,
Not really knowing the significance of the moment.
