For Each Other...

This love of mine
need not disturb you,
it is inside me
and it will not be seen
or felt by you,
i love you and probably
will still love you
(for this long
and for how long?
i do not really know)

and

this love of mine
may persist longer
than i ever want or feel it to be

This will be true and gentle
and coy and
innocent still

but I pray that you should
never know it
or that you may love me too

we simply don't fit
we are never really meant.
