Love is undeniable and undefinable,
But I always knew.
She would and could never be mine,
Although my love was true.

And it happened just the way I thought it would.
Slowly but surely their love grew.
The thing I dreaded most:
But I always knew.

It was to come slow and steady.
The tortoise not the hare.
And to tell her how I feel,
I would never dare.

And then just like in my dreams,
Nightmares more or less,
I lost her for this life time,
Bound by love to my eternal test.

Please treat her well, sir,
She deserves the very best.
I loved her through and through,
But alas, I always knew.
