You Are Not Mine.

You are not mine.
You
will
never
be mine.
You belong to the World.
You are not mine to keep.
You are the object of my appreciation.
The one I notice.
And see.
And hold.
But you are not mine to keep.
The truth,
when I can see it,
is that I don’t need you.
I
do
not
need you.
I will never need you.
I will only forget that
on occasion.
I will never possess you.
I will only ever possess my thoughts
of you.
Those thoughts are the
only
eternal
thing
involving you
that I am able to keep.
I will enjoy them
in all their glory.
Today.
And only ever
today.
