5.

I cannot love you ever,
you must know that by now.
It's much too costly on my part,
my soul wouldn't allow.

I want to see you grow and play,
though I don't know why,
it pains me just to see your face.
I still can't say goodbye.

I needed you -- but you were gone
and lost to this day.
You had your chance and gave it up
and yet I remain.
