I yearn for what I cannot hold,

A longing I cannot control,

A dream that slips through my grasp,

A desire that will never last.


My heart aches for what cannot be,

A wish that's just not meant for me,

A hope that fades with every day,

A love that's destined to stray.


So I'll cherish what I can't attain,

And let my heart be in vain,

Although it's out of sight,

Always shining bright with all its might.

This poem is supposed to represent always wanting what you don't have, knowing that it will never come yet still maintaining the want for that thing.
