Loves unquenched Desire

It's been so long since I wanted you
Hope overtook me with your words of encouragement
Looking into your eyes of a sea of blue
Wanting grew into a need for you, unquenched.

You brought forth a passion in me
That I was sure died a long ago
You became my fantasy
Holding you and never letting go.

Your kindness and tenderness enveloped my soul
As I looked for defects, I found a person so rare
And I wanted to give you solace and show
The security my love has and that I care.

Wanting to take away all your pain
Enveloping you with all my love
Fearing I must be insane
Or is this really a feeling called love?

"I love you" is what I hear in my mind
Every day as I go about my life
Knowing I may never find love
From you returned in kind.

As each day goes by, I will try to forget
My tears of love unquenched will become less
And I will go forward on my journey
Letting go for evermore.
