What was never meant to be

As adolescents we first met
As young ones we first kissed
Throughout the years that pass by we let
No doubt each other we've missed,

After the experiences of common
After the evenings of romance
As pure as a fine diamond
It became clear at long last,

I spent quite some years
Living for every chance to see you
Shed countless tears
To see what I have to do,

Because of the fate
That's mightier than us both
Impossible to escape
Regardless of any oath,

Across an ocean of time
I'd reach to you surely
To finally make you mine
To love you fully and purely

But life's not a novel
Our story's not a film
And I can't be your lover
No, not in this realm,

I bear a load that I cannot drop off
A love that makes me feel old
But I must admit I've had enough
In this mine for me ain't no real gold,

I know I'll be forgotten
Unlike you
Yet the kiss that I'd gotten
Will never be through,

Just for the farewell
Know, I'll pray for your soul
And if I shall go to hell
With you in my heart the hell will go cold,

Now...that we go separate ways
All I've left to do's pray
And if I must I'll stay away
For you to enjoy your beautiful day...
