YOUNG OBSERVER: THE LOVE THAT NEVER WAS

Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Birds in the sky, lend me your ears
Fishes in the sea, swim to the surface
Heaven and earth, bear witness to this loss
This is the love that never was

If ever there were feelings so true
If ever there was a thing between me and you
If ever there was a love so pure
Listen to me for I am sure
That it is this love, this love that never was

If ever there was a love built on solid foundations
Of friendship and mutual affections
If ever there was a love so strong and yet so hard
Harder even than the chains of  Amistad
It is this love, this love that never was

Don’t tell me about Bonnie and Clyde, for they had nothing!
Romeo and Juliet pale in comparison to this love
This love that never was

There would been no boundaries
Only amazing possibilities
Of sweet caresses, hugs and kisses
Of planting kiss after kiss on every inch of her body
Of making her laugh and her saying, "yow danga funny!" (laugh)

I long for her to see
The difference between perception and reality
I long for her to see
That she does deserve me
I long for her to say "I do"
Dare I ask the question: "will you?"

She calls it a sacrifice….for what  reason?
It’s just her sensitivity that has built this prison

But we move on, we continue life’s journey
The love that never was? The love that will be?
Time will tell and we shall see

We move on, forward ever
What will be will be

We move on, backward never
Que sera sera
