My Old Poem of Unrequieted love

I wrote it years ago, for an unrequieted love of mine

If I should place my heart in a box,
And throw away the key,
Then I could go on for many years,
and still you would not see;

That you're my one desire,
the one I cherish most,
My heart would always seek you out,
on many a distant coast.

And somehow we are seperate,
as if the cruellest fate,
was praying my life over,
and destiny was late.

Yet still I do not weep,
And never shall I cry,
for I know when we're together,
It is always you and I.
