Again

There you are again
In my head
I can’t escape it
Every dream
Every fantasy
Every thought
What I want
What I need
What will likely never be
You move me in ways long forgotten
You bring to life a world left behind
You inspire me to be
To live
To love again
…but not you
You stir within me
Hopes
Dreams
Goals and aspirations
But they can’t give me what I want
You can’t give me what I want
I can’t give me what I want
When what I want is so far out of reach
It’s there
So close
A carrot, dangling
Dancing through my mind
But just beyond me
For all that you inspire
For all the light you bear
For all the joy you fill my soul with
Is nothing
If I cannot have you.
