Impossible thing

Why am I still dreaming as life passes by?
Why can’t I find myself an adequate rhyme?
I can see very clear what the future will bring --
My attraction to you is an impossible thing.

We are stuck knee deep in this and we know it well.
Time we spend together keeps us under the spell.
When we look at each other, we enjoy what we see,
Yet it rings in my head that you ain’t meant for me.

Why has Fate been so reckless, so mischievous, so false
As to leave me condemned to pursue the wrong goals?
Your hands are on my shoulders & it makes my heart sing.
While my mind tells me - ours is an impossible thing.

I’m a witch, easily reading all your secret thoughts
I can make the whole tale of your pauses and dots.
I try not to recall it, for then I lose my poise.
I bet you feel the same when you hear my voice.

Yes, we lie. What’s the use, man, of being a saint?
Next life we will be able to shake off the taint.
Leave it out on my conscience to hurt and to sting,
Yes, I am really in love with my impossible thing.
