You could not be mine

You could not be mine,

Yet in the depths of my heart,

You always shine,

You could not be mine,

Yet my mind confined,

With thoughts of thine,

You could not be mine,

Yet you’re a sweet memory,

Forever frozen in time,

You could not be mine,

Yet in my world’s constellation,

You are the star I pine,

You could not be mine,

Yet you shifted hues of my life,

From Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Klein,

To Red-Green-Blue, a new design,

You could not be mine,

Yet you’re a lasting rhyme,

Embedded in my heart’s chime,

You could not be mine,

And our paths didn’t align,

Yet this rugged journey was still divine,

You could not be mine,

Yet in my every line,

Your presence does align,

Now that you are not mine,

I ponder how blessed is the one,

Who gets to call you ‘mine’,
