Love Unrequited

If love be kind if love be gentle and true
Then why is love only a ghost
Why cannot she be in love with me too?
If love be warm if love be fair and sweet
Then why is love such a mean host
Why cannot our souls meet?
If love be joyful if love be unbound
Then why is love full of scorn?
Why cannot we dance to love’s gentle sound?
If love be desirable if love be free
Then why is it love cannot be born
Why cannot the one I love, love me?
