There is No Other

I guess I'll never know for sure the answers to these pleas.
There is not another person that could possibly appease,
these emotions I have kept pent up for so many years,
not another person that could make these questions clear.

I have long searched for another that would come as close as her,
but there is no other person in which these thoughts I could secure.
My only wish still to this day is that I had acted sooner,
if only I had known that so soon I would lose her.

How could I want something with such a burning passion,
when a love like this is something I have never once imagined?
How could I want to hold her so tight in my arms,
when not even once have I known that kind of charm?

I guess I'll never know for sure the answers to these pleas,
because the only one that I've ever known who could possibly appease,
these emotions that I have kept pent up for my entire life,
was killed by a drunk driver on her way home tonight.
