Unrequited

A day like any other,
I never meant to fall for another.
When we met,
I lost my heart forever.

Though un-told,
you walk within my soul; 
every fleeting touch,
every longing glance,
I fall into a deeper trance.

If love could be chosen,
our lives would be one.
No crueler fate,
my true love is enamoured...
but not with the chosen one.

Unrequited sensations,
tortuous dejection,
hidden revelations;
it was never my intent
to suffer this discontent.

My true love forever,
there is no greater.
Together with one another...
a day like no other.
