i longed to touch her, hold her close
i longed to know her, make sure she even existed
i longed to reach for her as she danced,
shining like a star against the midnight sky,
to pull her in and dance as one-
but she danced just beyond my fingertips,
for she was blindingly pure
and all that was good in the world
and i,
i was dark and cold and harsh,
forever forced to watch
unable to touch
the light that lingered
just a breath away
