CONFLICTED

Will you meet me
On the other side of dawn
Even if I don't ask you?
Not that I want you to...
That's not the life

I would wish upon you
Not in a million years
For I've nothing to give you
Not even promises
Nothing
Except a few moments
Borrowed from time
And a love that isn't mine to give
But still I wonder...
There's a little ember of hope
That refuses to die down
That tries to get its flame going
With the tiniest of breaths
That come its way
And I can't help but imagine
What it would be like
To find you waiting
Across that wide sea of memories
Etched from nothingness
What it would be like
To touch love...again
