THE CHEATIf you do not wish to

<!-- something to the effect of "This Poem under review".
Out of Reach
Not a teenie-bopper, yet not an old soul
I find myself lost in wondrous thought
About how you/'/ve sparked my interest
Something that most of the others cannot do
You don/'/t know me yet I feel as if I know you
Every interview and movie I have immersed myself in
Has carried me closer to the island of you
One I wouldn/'/t mind remaining isolated on
Yet the sun is beating ever stronger
Reality sets in while she still has her say
To swim back home seems impossible still
Oh goodness what am I ever to do
Float, I hear a deep, familiar voice say
Startled I turn and behold your tall, dark image
The moment I/'/ve dreamed of nearly every day
Has finally come to fruition
Aware of my nerves you calmly walk beside me
At the shore you assure me that my drifting away is not farewell
Rather that my chance of saying hello is more likely
Perhaps I shall meet you on the other side, you say
Stepping into the water of cold reality
I give you my most sincere wishes of good
For I find your soul invaluable and your welfare priceless
So much more I long to say as I lay atop the clear surface
The beautiful, blue sky is now all I see
I tell myself what will be will be
I send a prayer of thanks to Jesus
For redirecting my gaze to the One I am truly capable of knowing
Staring at my opened laptop I see the latest interview ended
I click the red X and shut the whole thing down
Knowing that only so much time and energy can be allotted to one out of reach
Yet one in my heart that I truly yearned to have reached
