What right have I?
You are not mine
Nor will you ever be
I need not try
To read your sign
You dont belong to me
I should not care
How you behave
What difference does it make?
Perhaps someday
You will grow brave
And from this sleep awake
But when you do
It will not then
Be caused by what I say
But by one who
Like other men
Holds you within her sway
And as I claim
No place within
The life you choose to live
Ill stay the same
As I have been
And all your faults forgive
Perhaps I own
The privileged place
For worry I need not
I may condone
Reprove with grace
And still remain unfraught
With jealousies
And petty cares
And all that love demands
So as you please
Ill save my prayers
And better use my hands
But why all this?
As I have said
It matters not to me
What right have I?
You are not mine
Nor will you ever be

I've spent my whole life telling everyone to leave me alone
Don't touch, don't look too close
But I didn't mean you

And now you've gone
Because you saw the forbidden sign above my head
And you didn't know,
I didn't mean you

You went to an open door,
instead of knocking harder at mine
I would have let you in
But you didn't know,
I didn't mean you

You didn't see that I cleared the path and left the walkway free
For I told myself that I'll only be tread on by you
But now I look with love upon someone
And no one else matters but him
But still, you fool,
You think I didn't mean you

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal.

by Lord Byron
from Childe Harold, Canto iv, Verse 178
