To My Unseen Love

Elise from Somewhere in Time

TO MY UNSEEN LOVE

I've never looked upon your face;
   I do not know your name;
And in some unseen distant place,
   I know you will remain
Forever kept apart from me
   Across both space and time;
I hope someday these words you'll see,
   By chance that you will find
Within this old and worn-out book
   The fact so plain and true:
That all my life in vain I looked...
   In vain I searched for you.

I'd sit beneath the moonlit skies
   In summer's warm night air
And dream of looking in your eyes,
   Of you beside me there;
And as I walked, in fantasy
   I gently held your hand,
But in the moonlight next to me:
   No one there did stand;
And if I could, I would have flown
   Across all time and space
And left behind my world I'd known...
   And you, my love, embrace.
