Unrequited Dream

Walking in the shadow of the valley,
There was no light.

Trying to walk out of the shadow,
I see no way.

When pressing on towards the end,
I lost my way.

In the moment of lost and despair,
Then she was there.

She was elegant and fragile but
I did not care.

She was 18 and i was ten,
I will be trained.

Such was the fate of a unrequited dream,
I lost my soul.

She is everything to me,
My hope and despair.

My dream would never come true,
to preserve her smile.
