TOUGH LOVE

I don’t know what it is about you,

That makes me want you everyday,

We are all wrong for each other,

But I still want you.

When you speak to me,

All I do is watch your lips,

And wonder how they will taste,

When they finally caress mine.

When we hug goodbye,

My mind is a million miles away,

My thoughts run wild,

I can’t help but wonder,

How your hands will feel on my bare skin,

When you finally touch me.

And when I sleep,

I never fail to dream,

Of you and me forever,

And I never want to be awake.

But when you are away my heart grows heavy,

At thought of not seeing you soon,

But, You know not of this

Because yours is a tough love.

I fell for you,

Even though I knew it would never be,

And I have made my peace with that,

But I couldn’t help my self.

And even today,

What I feel for you grows stronger,

With every passing moment.

We come from different worlds,

As different as heaven and earth,

Maybe one day you will know,

Maybe one day I will tell,

Maybe I will take what I know,

To my grave,

And you will never know.

Do you even have a clue?
