Forbidden

reaching out to touch, 
someone who isn't there
a painfull reminder, 
of the things we cannot share
my body aches to kiss your lips, 
to feel your tender touch 
my heart aches as i resist, 
my heart, it feels too much
at times i feel so selfish,
you deserve much more than this
and i wonder how it would feel,
if your lips were mine to kiss
i hope someday you forgive me,
for needing you this way
i never meant for it to happen,
never thought i'd see the day
i'd given up on romance, 
on passion and desire
instead i took stability, 
although without the fire
a case of just too late,
I close my eyes and see your face
and long for the day,
I will be in your warm embrace.
