You never realize what you have
Until it's gone away
But what if you never had a chance
To say in person things you've longed to say?
Never knowing your touch
Never knowing how much
Where do I begin?
How can a love so strong and true
Have so many obstacles in the way?
And if someday our paths collide
Passion so deep we cannot hide
I'll hold you close
My hand you'll take
And deep inside my heart will break.
So I'll savor this forbidden fruit
Knowing it's not mine.
Thinking, hoping, dreaming
Someday things will work out fine.
Tamara Moir
