Thou Wilt Never Know

In ways that none have counted,
Nor envisioned…could be so,
I sought to speak of feelings,
That alas…thou wilt n'er know-
For the time…of but our sharing,
Hath long since…passed us by,
And yet there be a special place,
For thee…I've kept alive-
For long it was…I cherished thee,
Had hoped…in me…thou wouldst find,
The one to share thy life with,
And could love…but for all time,
But alas…the time for sharing such,
Hath long since…passed us by.
