Common interests brought us together, <br />Conversations on which we could agree. <br />There has never been enough trust to discuss <br />Issues in which we'd disagree. <br /> <br />Our hearts don't have the magic connection <br />That allow our brains to share the same waves. <br />Cupid has not struck us with his arrows, <br />To each other's soul we are not slaves. <br /> <br />We occupy the same space, living in orbit. <br />Our eyes meet across silence the size of an ocean, <br />And while our intentions are in the right place, <br />Fear is the source of our eternal devotion. <br /> <br />You don't know how much I need you. <br />I don't know why I expect you to read my mind. <br />It is amazingly easy to feel alone in your arms; <br />The mystery is why romance is so hard to find.<br /><br />Sydney Daniels<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-in-your-arms/
