Why do you hold on?

Why do you hold on
to what is no doubt hopeless?
Let go of this longing!
the one that burns inside
for a thing called love
that can never be

why do you love him
when he is not here
and capable of loving?
what fierce hope do you hold onto
that fills your silly head
with dreams of his smile?

Is this the way you want to love?
No?
This is the way you are willing to live
to wait for love
Yes, you have found the one you long for,
but you must wait
before you grasp
for he must come to you
he will,
or so you hope
and i suppose that will have to do for now.
