If you were possible, <br />I would pull you near, <br />Without a whisper of guilt, <br />Nor breath of regret. <br />I wouldn't care, <br />That you have not been mine, <br />Have not felt my lips, <br />Or my hands on hidden skin. <br />I would shine with you, <br />The one I cannot dream without, <br />I would look into your rapturous <br />gaze, <br />And match it with my own. <br />You are the echo for my soul, <br />The quenching to my longing, <br />Oh....to breathe what you breathe, <br />To taste what you taste. <br />For years that will never return, <br />I have stood frozen, <br />Lost in a dream of you, <br />So full of feeling and detail. <br />I am in unrequited love, <br />With this stolen moment, <br />Suddenly aware that without this <br />reverie, <br />I will remain silent and alone. <br /> <br />Forgotten by loves good graces.<br /><br />Lisa Weeks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-were-10/
