I Never Had

Was I foolish enough to love someone of the same sex? Part 1 of the She's the Girl series

I can only stare,

at her gentle smile

I can only care,

from afar

I can only sigh,

breathe too deep

I can only try,

reaching out

She can only greet,

not talk to me

She can only meet,

not send me love

She can only take

my hand, not hold

She can only make

me weep all day

Because she was only

a lady so oblivious

Thinking thoughtfully

about her man's love

Because I was only

a lady so fragile

Thinking thoughtfully

that I never had the right

I never had the right

to give her my heart

I never had the right

to tell her my feelings
