I always watch you
Hidden behind shadows
Do you ever see me too?
Shivering as the cold wind blows
But I won't leave,
not until you understand,
though my stomach wants to heave
and my trembling hand
is shaking with fear
though I do not fear you;
I hold you very dear
But it is you who
makes me feel timorous;
Terrified of bitter rejection.
I am terribly nervous
But this love is an addiction
I can't stop now.
I tried to write you a letter
but I didn't know how
I should know better
I can't approach you like this
Not the way I am presently
I am afraid I will miss
My only opportunity
to show you how I feel
And then you will never know
My love so pure and real
The feelings I am afraid to show
But I will not shed a tear,
I'm going to tell you what I think,
How much I've admired you, dear
I smile, my doubts shrink
Until you pass by...
I can not remember how to speak
Except to say "Hi"
You just smile in reply
I wonder why...
then you say "goodbye"
...I could just cry.
