Different Worlds
Different Worlds
I see
you
Through panes of glass.
My love! My one and only
Who will never be mine.
We are from different worlds:
Yours of blue skies and sunshine
And mine of clear waters.
I see you, larger than life:
Refraction of light from your world to mine.
Do you see me as less?
I will never know:
Communication is beyond us.
I could not understand your language
Nor you mine.
We know only love
Each in our own world's way.
I could not live in your world,
Nor you in mine
So we remain apart.
Separated by panes of glass,
We are alone.
