Am I doomed

To an existence

Where you

You, you, and you

(Yes, I know you're all the same—

though it took me a while to catch on)

Will be near enough to see

But never to hold?

Always tantalisingly close

But no cigar?

To check up on

After a hard day

To celebrate your wins

(Not that you'll ever know)

Applaud, be proud of,

Have imaginary conversations with

Late into the night

Am I doomed

To exist?
