In The Darkness Of Dawn

I’ve heard, it’s darkest before the dawn;
and, now I know that it’s true;
daily, as I struggle, just to live on,
I am lost in my love for you.

Although our minds have little interaction;
our souls have long ago met;
my heart could feel the tug of attraction;
in the eyes I could never forget.

Once, when I idly gazed into your eyes;
I felt an attraction from above;
imagine the spark of shock and surprise;
when feeling the joy of love.

I’ve dwelt in the quicksand of loneliness;
not believing I’d see you once more;
dreaming of your kiss and sweet caress;
when fate quickly closed the door.

Just seeing you again; means so much to me;
although our love is one-sided;
your love is the perfection, I dream to see;
although, on earth, it’s unrequited.

I’ve often dreamed, we’d meet once more;
not really believing it was true;
returning to where fate closed the door;
and my heart said, “I love you!”

Tho I have thought, that it’s never too late;
in the darkess, before dawn, I could see;
even the greatest love couldn’t conquer fate;
and my love wasn’t meant to be.
