Half of my Heart

I know you I can't be yours Then why do I love you so? I accepted that we will never be And somehow I can't let you go We talked and talked before And I offered you my heart But you saw the world in your eyes One where I couldn't play a part It makes me ache, and yet I am still happy That you could be a part of mine We share those moments, those we understand Together, laughing, speaking in our language And in silence, in our brushing arms, make my heart shine You are the flower in my garden The floral bloom I can't pluck Watching from a distance Cherishing you, and my love, I tuck For I have found peace in my longing Just looking at you from afar Perhaps you truly aren't for me Who makes my chest tight and my heart soar So I keep a fragment of you Living and flourishing in my memory
