A Distant Dream

by

Sara Rarick

When I read words that speak of love, all I think of is you.
I smile when I remember the short time we spent together.
Tears well up in my eyes, little drops of regret,
when I realize that you will never be mine to hold.
And it doesn't make sense, when we are both always in love with each other.
But I must live with the painful truth that it is my fault everything fell apart.
Feeling this way tears me apart, leaves me feeling sad and lonely.
You don't even believe me when I tell you that it hurts me too, and that I want you so badly.
It's almost as if I need you, I think I really do.
Never will you ever believe the words I speak again.
We talk as friends but it never works out.
I don't like the burden I carry of it being all my fault.
I want to share my life, my dreams, and my sorrow with you.
But that will always be my dream that will never come true.
