A Love I Cannot Tell

I miss your smile and eyes so shining bright,
Your heart was warm and friendly like no other,
Your face seemed to me to shine with heaven’s light
And yet I only seemed to be your brother;
I loved you with a love I cannot tell,
A love that burned so deep and truly bright,
Your voice was like the ringing of a bell,
The fire burned through the day and all the night;
And yet I never spoke to you this way,
My love was silent as the stars at night,
I have lost all love now that you’re away,
Only darkness reigns where there once was light;
My love for you can only be as friend to friend,
With you my heart stands still and all love ends.

Be seeing you,
Steven
