For Carrie

By Derelict Dream

Like a flower never quite touched by the dew,
Like a moth that never reaches the flame,
Though our longing makes us feel blue,
We beg and plead for it again and again.

To imagine being with the one whom we love,
Is to imagine a life like in heaven above.

Its the thing with which the candle of our lives are ignited,
Its love, and so often, its unrequited.
