The One
Fleeting happiness and melancholy
In one's life there comes a moment
when you realize that the one
You have dreamed of all the time
is just beside you
It is ironic that you look so far
When the person who makes you happy
is just in front of you
But the second you wake up
It is now beyond reach
Beyond reach because you choose
Not being able to hold him
Is the truth
But to be with him
Even for a moment is more important
A wish that makes you return to childhood
where life is still perfect
In time you learned to love deeply
More than anything nor anyone
But you choose blindly
Not to be reciprocated
For it destroys the essence
It gives away the magic
For in loving, one finds the answer
to countless questions
That the mind cannot provide
A reasonable phrase
Only the heart knows
We all have our fantasies
But some should stay forever
Almost all seem perfect
That the minute you possess it
It becomes an imperfection
It is inevitable that not all will be granted
But it is the wishing and dreaming
That makes life so sweet to behold
Dreams are made to keep us alive
And to have them means a bitter death
