LOVING

We will never be free
Of who we are.
We will never be free
Of the past.

The moon shines high
And my thoughts of you
Wander along loving lines
Of familiarity.

You have been my life,
My present and my past,
Hidden, quiescent
And a permanent part
Of mind and heart.

I shall never have your child
Or be your wife
But you are my friend
On the road of life.

No, I will never be free
Of loving you,
Or want to be free
Of a loving friend.
