Denial - 1

A mixed blessing
glimpses of the beautiful possibility

Hand in hand with the knowledge
that it will never be

-

It may be that it is better to
have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all

But it is far, far worse
to know that love would be denied you
when that love is your
greatest wish

Than to be blind and deaf
oblivious to the world
and unaware of the missed chance.
