Hoping

I see you sitting there, only a few feet away,
But we are in two different worlds, like night and day.
You, in your thoughts, whatever they may be,
And I in mine, on what will never be.

I want to reach out and touch you,
Break the wall that makes one world two.
I want to understand you as you understand me,
I want to know why those certain things just cannot be.
Even though I already know what you will say,
I believe the answer may change, somehow, one day.

One day I’ll know you as you know me,
Our two worlds will be one, and you’ll see
No matter how long I wait, or how much I cry,
There’s a love in my heart I know will never die.
