He saw her from afar, a beauty so divine
Her smile, her laugh, oh how it did shine
He longed for her touch, her love, her affection
But alas, he knew it was but a mere obsession
He tried to approach her, to confess his love
But the words failed him, like a wounded dove
He watched her from afar, as she went on with life
Her joy, her laughter, cutting through like a knife
He wondered what it was, that made her so free
Why couldn't he have her, why couldn't they be
He tried to reason with himself, to move on
But his heart refused, like a stubborn pawn
He dreamt of her at night, and day
He yearned for her, in every single way
But she never saw him, nor did she care
For she had eyes for another, with whom she did share
He watched her from the shadows, as she laughed and smiled
And he knew that he would never be reconciled
He knew that he was but a mere admirer
A distant love, that could never transpire
And so he lived his life, with a broken heart
Knowing that they could never be a part
He loved her with every beat of his heart
But she never knew, and they remained apart
He watched her from a distance, as she lived her life
And he wished her nothing but happiness and light
He knew that he would never be her choice
But he loved her nonetheless, with every ounce of his voice
He knew that his love was a futile endeavor
But he loved her anyway, now and forever
For she was the one that he could never forget
Love that Would Never Be
