i stay in the shadows, cast by lovers
while i watch them love in the light
i hear their laughter
their hearts entwined
as i sit alone...
my dream confined
i see their gestures
their tender gaze
a symphony of sweet arrays
yet here i stand
a silent guest
in longings ache, i find no rest,.
im told about the joy love brings
the way it flourishes throughout the soul
the intimacy it brings between two people
for  true love is my goal

i crave the warmth of real connection
a bond with only the purest affection
i wonder if im built to share
this heart that blooms
this heart laid bare.

The path is within.
