Have You Ever?

Have You Ever?

Have you ever loved someone so much

Your heart had to build a wall

To protect itself from the pain of

loving him too much?

Have you ever wanted someone so much

Your mouth formed a cheerful smile

While your heart retreated deeper

Into the recesses of the impossible?

Have you ever longed for someone so much

Your mind created stories so real

And you woke up disappointed 

‘Cos he was never yours to dream?

Have you ever?
