My dearest Nicky
I know my poem
Must never reach you
Ever, in my life
You are too far away
For us to ever be
As much as I want
We simply cannot be
For nine score evenings
I have loved you darly
More than I love myself
I want to hold you
I envy every person
Who lives in your town
For they can know you
While I can not
I envy our friend Daren
For he has met you
If only the once
Tis more than I will
I cannot explain in words
How much I love you
The pangs of my heart
When I think of you
I cannot explain in words
How much you mean to me
Our conversations, the laughter
The jokes and the tears
You brighten my day
With a few simple words
Even in my darkest hour
I can count on you
You are a healer
And a good person
Once more, my love
I say I love you
But, being who you are
You deserve someone who
Can hold you each day
Can be there all the time
Someone to hold you
When you are crying
Someone to hold you
When you are blue
Someone to drink coffee with
To see movies, to visit concerts
To laugh, to cry, to sing
Someone who loves you
Someone to love you
To care for you
To be there with you
To kiss you good night
As much as I want to
I cannot be that person
Nor would I want you
To say yes, unless I can
I want to hold you
When you cry at night
I want to see your smile
Each and every day
But the miles of land
Between we two
Prevents such a thing
To my great sorrow
And that is why
You cannot know
You must forget
My feelings for you
And I never can
Get you out of my heart
Mind, body or soul
Until the end of time
I will love thee, Nicky
