Impossibilities

I offer you all that I am
Heart, mind, soul, spirit, body.
Yet you will not receive it,
Because you cannot.

You, who have become my world,
Whose presence I delight in,
Will not let me become your world,
Because you cannot.

My dreams bask in you,
Your look, your touch, your being.
Your dreams will not be wrapped in me,
Because they cannot.

You are more real and dear to me
Then my own self.
Because I cannot be so to you
I want to weep,
But I cannot.
