ali

a soaring bird, in love's delight

but like a leaf upon the breeze

my hopes and dreams, caught in unease

i long for him to see me true

to gaze upon me, as i do you

but like a star too far to reach

my heart's desires, out of my reach

a flower in bloom, i wait in vain

hoping love's petals, will soon sustain

but like the desert's barren land

my heart is parched, without a hand

i build castles in the air

with hopes that love, we soon will share

but like a dream that fades away

my heart is left, in disarray

the wind of change, it blows so strong

a love unrequited, can't belong

reality sets in, and i see

that love's not meant, for you and me

so i’ll cherish the moments we share

and keep this love, a secret affair

for though my heart, will always yearn
