in the moments where i despair,

i close my eyes,

i see my pair.

for you only, a love that never dies,

and a bond that never shatters.

out of everything, you are what most matters.

you are the symbol of life,

you are the reason i believe,

one day, you will be wife,

maybe, not to me,

but what gift is greater than love?

and that is what you have shown me.

so, even if lost, in the fog of time,

i will not lose hope.

such is the gift you have given me,

that even being lost i am found,

even crying i am smiling.

no one exists or ever will,

with beauty and divinity,

as pure as yourself,

sun.

sun that is not mine,

or ever will.

maybe the beauty is not in having,

maybe what is truly perfect,

is what we will never have,

but, instead, what we always had,

even without realizing.

and, in all honesty,

i might not be yours,

or even will be.

but, on the other hand,

my heart and thoughts are.

all that i am.

all that i ever will be.

i choose to give,

not to anyone...

anyone but you, Shams.
