To My Cannot-be

This is loving you with all of my heart
   despite its wound behind curtains
   as I admire you here from afar
   hoping to feel your warmth again

This is loving you against all odds
   though the fate of you isn't with me,
   the name you cry is no longer mine
   and you're just now my cannot-be

This is loving you despite its pain
   more than anyone could ever do
   without asking you to do the same
   and the way I've been wanting to

This is loving you with every bit of my heart
This is still loving you though it's tearing me apart
