Wish It Was You

I could dream of you forever,

But it wouldn't put me beside you.

I could ask a million questions,

But I'll never get the answer I want.

I could write a hundred poems,

But you would still never understand.

I could try to forget what I feel,

But I've pushed too much out already.

Why do we feel such strong emotion,

Of complete care and pure devotion.

It seems to bring, just pain and fear,

Along with shame and then the tears.

Holding onto happiness that I never had,

Love's an impostor, a thief in the night,

Reduces flames to embers that no longer burn bright.

Love captains your emotions and steers your fate.

Love is the only emotion that I truly hate.
