Such is fate
To miss you whom I've never met
Heart hesitates  
Having never known someone I can't forget
Save through words
And those so few
But heady the potion which they brew
 
Beguiled  
They lie sleeping in my memory
Like whispers half heard
Or a view half glimpsed  
In subtlety
You, my desires stirred
And reality eclipsed
This pleasant while
 
You by word have plumbed my depth
And caused my thought at times to soar
Laying open both height and breadth
For dreaming heart to dare
And yet
I've never been so near
Save close as words inspire a soul
If I may be so bold  
To love
 
I would speak to you in silence
My lips on yours
To impart each word
In a moment timeless
My feelings bared
The distance clears
For in love's hope is lightness
