You

A feeling, growing closer each hour
It heightened, blossomed, nearly together
My Assistant, an exquisite flower
But circumstance clouding right to whether

If touching you, would rescind from the mind
A look, a kiss, a dream, for which I fell
To leave only a shared fondness behind
The wish cast, standing with you, by the well

Heartfelt notion, not destined to unfold
Taken by you, with others we are blessed
Awakened at night, you I long to hold
A desire, to always remain suppressed

Beauty lies in affection with no end
You, place in my heart held, a lifelong friend
