You were loved

To want what one cannot have.
You came into my life and I wanted you though I belonged to another.
I could not tell you all that you have done for me.
I have no right to let you know that you are loved.
At night I lay thinking that I should tell you.
Would you laugh at me?
If someone loved me I would want to know.
You did not know that every time we met I wanted to touch you.
I wanted to bring your body alive beneath my hands.
I wanted to whisper in your ear and feel the warmth of your skin.
But most of all I wanted to hear you talk to me as though you felt the same way.
I cannot tell you that you are loved.
I cannot hold you and give you the love you deserve.
I cannot share with you the dreams and feelings I have for you.
I cannot say to you all the things that I admire about you.
I belong to another… is it possible to love two?
What right have I to tell you that you are loved?
If I told the one I belong to, he would be hurt.
If I told you and then left , you would be hurt.
If I keep silent only I will be hurt.
If I say nothing you will forget me because you thought I was not interested.
If I do not tell the other life will go on as before.
Only I will remember and wonder at what could have been.
My heart will be with you always.
I will leave you now…ever conscious that you will never know that,
you were loved.
