Yet
I love him,
Yet I know I can never reach
Beyond the wall he uses to hide his heart.
I hate him,
Yet, I know it is only his rejection,
That makes my bitter heart say things I do not mean.
I need him,
Yet, I know he will never have the need to
Reach for the arms that long to hold him close.
I want him,
Yet, I know that his pride will never allow him
To want that which I offer up freely to him.
I yearn for him,
Yet, I know he will never be able yearn for me,
Not in the way that my heart craves to be desired.
I love him,
Yet, I know he will never be able to return,
The aching love that I crave to share with only him.
I crave him,
Yet, I know he will never be able to crave me
Because he does not even know that, my love and I exist.
