Yours, from a distance

I'm not yours.
I've never been yours
and I probably will never be yours.

But I want you,
and I've wanted you,
and I will continue to want you.

When the sun shines
I see your smile.
When that song plays
I hear your voice.
You feel so close,
yet untouchable.

I like the title. The poem is good. I think it needs reformatting.

Try this:

I’m not yours.
I’ve never been yours
and I will probably never be yours.

But I want you,
and I’ve wanted you,
and I will continue to want you.

When the sun shines
I see your smile.
When that song plays
I hear your voice.
You feel so close,
yet untouchable.

It will force the reader into your pattern which is excellent.
The internal logic is fine. Well done. Keep it up.
