"The more I see you, the more I want you
Somehow this feeling just grows and grows,
With every sigh I become more mad about you
More lost without you and so it goes..."

Being after something that you know will never be yours
yet is only just in fact, right in front of you,
is quite similar to the torture Tantalus goes through
as he positions his life around reaching above him
to the vine of grapes that has been cruelly placed just beyond his reach by the gods.
Just so what is perhaps, just a fingertip away
is still beyond reach,
and therefore,
never to be possessed.
