The Love Inside

I throw to the wind what we cannot see:

The thoughts and feelings of you and me.

Physical tokens I may throw away

But the feelings I must keep at bay.

For now I will strive to hide

The love I must keep inside.

The memory of our first kiss,

Your hand in mine; absolute bliss!

Your arms, so strong and sure,

Keeping me warm, safe and secure.

Hoping someday to be your bride,

Expressing the love I have inside.

Knowing I can't see your face,

And remembering our last embrace,

Trying to suppress thoughts of you

As day by day I carry through.

Attempting to set aside

The love I still have inside.

Hoping that we weren't a waste

And that my love was not misplaced.

Getting through each day by faking

That my heart isn't really breaking.

Knowing we've been put aside

Along with the love I keep inside.
