Description
I’ve never been close to you;
You don’t feel the way I do.
When I see you across the way,
My smile lasts the whole day.
Once, you spoke to me,
And filled my heart with glee.
But, oh! Why can’t I see
That you and I will never be?
Because you already have someone
With whom to spend you days under the sun.
I can’t hide my feelings for you,
But to them I can’t be true.
When I speak to you,
My words are meant to pierce you through.
I don’t really know how to act,
But then I never had much tact.
When your gaze meets mine,
I seem just fine,
But I shiver and sweat;
My eyes get wet.
To my very core I am shaken
At the thought that you’re taken.
For several years I’ve seen you,
But mere glimpses; nothing new.
Long ago, I thought I might die,
But no longer do I cry.
No more do I weep,
Deeply asleep.
Dreaming of you,
As does a fool.
If only we had never met,
Because then I wouldn’t fret;
Wouldn’t worry about what you see,
When you look straight through me.
You’ll never know the way I feel;
My words are under lock and seal.
But my inner thoughts are free,
And filled with what might be.
But you’re happy now,
And I don’t know how,
I could take that away from you,
Because you don’t feel the way I do.
