I'm Impossible

My eyes can only see so deeply into you,

not far enough to know your heart.

My heart I can see, all too brightly,

and there are no inner lids to block the light.

She asked if I am in love with you.

I know that I love you, that I savor the time we share.

I know that remembering your kiss blinds me with that inner light

and leaves me helpless and hopeless for a while.

I find when I think of her my heart softens, and I would answer No,

But my heart leaps at the thought of you, and Yes is the greater truth.

If loving two is impossible, then so, I suppose, am I.
