i'm lonely and have been for a while
two years since i've been close to a girl
close enough to be devestated
close enough for my heart to shrivel and curl
though cautious to move ahead, move on
she has moved my soul to soaring heights
i fear how easily my desire is fueled
i fear those cold dark broken nights
she has engaged my mind
vastly, completly entranced beyond distraction
i'm anxious to know her from mind to soul
i'm anxious to know if she shares the attraction
not her timid smile, her tenacious hair
nor her gentle face and clever eyes
not any of these reverant features begins to equate
to her words so much more then honest and wise
her ability to talk cured my inner frown
to think and to dare to unleash, to speak
her ambition and passion did start a fire
the cold in my heart did start to leak
how desperatly i adore her nature
to care, to debate, to not shout
to believe, to endure, to hope
to shine through shadows of doubt
violently giddy like a teenager all over again
i want to mean something to her smile
i want to know her world and speak her soul
i want to be a part of her unique style
i want to not get my hopes up so high
i need to try and just be myself
i still need to earn my dreams and money
a guy like me may never have her as my wealth
i know this is a love that may never happen
i know that good things dont come fast
i don't know if she feels the same
i don't want this if it can't last
