An Aching Heart... Poem by Marie Joyce B. Negapatan

I had a dream last night...
I had your heart
Clasped inside my hands
Holding it gently
As I feel your heartbeat
Beneath my trembling fingers
Afraid to let it go.
How I wished this feeling
Wont fade away
That love I had
Tucked inside the palm
of my caressing hands.
But then I woke up
Denying the pain of the reality
That eventhough
We're inches closer
So tightly stuck together
I know you can never be mine
I just have to let go
Of your heart
Watching it fall
Right inside the palm
Of someone else's hand...
