Was it meant to be?

So long, so long I yearned
for yet another glimpse
And your warm nearness's bliss
Imagined so many a kiss

Of all that river that passed
beneath the bridge so cold
Every moment I waited, bated
in breath for the ship to take me

Your shores beckoned me
In anticipation of that moment
When I'd hold you tight,
And comfort you in my arms

Wipe your lonely tears
and allay all the fears
Drive away the unsaid pain
With one caress of my hand

If only you'd with your eyes see
And opened that hurt heart
For the torrent of endless love
that I brought from across the seas

That was not to be, alas!
for you're afraid of being hurt
And therefore, wouldn't let go
that pains me more and adds to my woe

For one moment, my tender love
cant you see you mean to me
The Sun, Stars & this whole world
And slip in my arms & curl up to me?

It perhaps was not meant to be
from the beginning of time...
Things always turn to be best
When you let them & lay to rest
