Tim is back and so is my smile

I felt for him and he for another,
A truth that in my heart burned.
Despite my want, my longing,
There was no love but unreturned.

A glimmer of hope,
A light,
Could his heart now be free?
Released from an unwanting clutch,
Might he now share it with me?

Alas, the bond of love,
Though unrequited is quite strong.
This tempter stole my peace away
And my torture it prolonged.

My heart was not and nor was his
Given any rest.
Aching and breaking;
Bursting beneath my chest.

It's been a year
That first I feared
I might love my friend named Tim.
And yet though those feelings continue,
The outlook seems no longer grim.

On faith,
On whim,
I went to him...
And explained that I had not changed.
That every day with out him was another filled with pain.

This time it was different- He liked me back!
I could feel it- I wasn't wrong!
I needn't worry that everything...
Or anything would go wrong.

He tells me that he misses me,
Longs for my embrace.
I wish deeply for the next moment when I will get to see his face.
