Elusion of the forbidden

Sleep is elusive tonight
As evasive as a seductress
Who tempts mercilessly
Yet refuses to be ensnared

I caught myself in bed
Wrapped in my own recluse
As my thoughts wandered to you
To where you are
If you are fast asleep

And these thoughts
Take me to the glory days
That we spent together
Enclosed in a world
That only you and I know

As again I wonder
Do you think of me?
Like I think of you?
Do you see me?
As I see you?

Caught in two different worlds
Yet fate insisted
For our paths to inevitably cross
With all its meaning
I still wonder where it is leading

If you and I were never destined
Then I ask the gods and the spirits
Why bring me this agony
To have seen, touched, tasted you
If you will only be forbidden

In the stillness of a sleepless night
I admit to defeat
In finding answers that escape me
As I bid you goodnight

As I blow a kiss in the wind
To bid my distant lover goodnight.
