My Love For You

Should I really write about you,
The one I need to know
Yearning to hold on one fine day.
But is it plain to see
That you are the only one for me.

And now you are all I see in my dreams
But never shall I know the end,
As you are so far from me.
My love is like no other,
And like my other love it shall only know you.
For even now my passion
Is devoted to this science—
Where my heart is in a pen,
And my mind is on paper.

Still there you are so close,
Just out of my reach—
Barely can I stand to see you
As I cry one last night
For what I can no have...
...You!—
