You are not so great. / Don't you dare look down on me / With sneering insult.

Is she just teasing? / Inviting me to chase her / But never to catch.

A twenty year weight / Lifted from my chest because / I could say sorry.

Impossible love / Ruled out by reality / Undying in hearts

The seeds of love lie / Patiently on barren ground / For the rain to come.

I would rather hope / For impossible delight / Than benign comfort.

What surprises me / Is not hidden memory / But dormant feelings.

It may sleep for years / In the depths of heart and soul / But first love never dies

Is it possible? / What I sought for twenty years / I lost at the start.

Defy common sense / Let your heart float fancy free / On the breeze of hope.

I'm willing to take / This least opportunity / For a happy heart

Love is a playlist / Of songs which make my heart leap / And bring her closer.
