This feeling inside of me
Growls like a cancerous tumor,
Wells up in the pit of my chest
Until it squeezes the very juices of
Life out of me; some call it
Love, some just a response to
Stimuli, yet I cannot decide, for the
One person who could heal this pain
That consumes my soul
Eludes me, vanishes before I
Could grab onto her;
Oh, how I wonder where she is now,
Who could she be now – I travel
The road of life for her, but
She always seems just beyond the next bend,
Just out of my reach,
Never slowing, never glancing back ... my God, how I wish
I could just catch up with her, for but a moment, before we both
Reach the end of the highway – oh, if it were that simple, would I
Still wish to have and hold her, I wonder?
