Only You

Why is it that when you enter the room my heart speeds up   
You sit down at the table and my heart now races faster and faster
Then you look up and my heart stops
Because for that minute and that minute alone
I am completely…

Never mind that now
You would not care if I told you
Because you love another
You look at her
As I look at you

I have wished over and over again
That I could gain the courage to tell you how I feel
But the thought of you not feeling the same
Keeps me here in my hiding place
For now and maybe forever

I watch you from across the table
Looking into your eyes hoping to see me
To see if you are really looking at me or just through me
The pain I have feel as I sit next to you
And not tell you the truth is immense

I long for a smile or some sign that will let me know
You know that I am here
I could tell you how I feel
But you would not listen
I could tell you that I am here to hold you
But you would not care
I could tell you that I love you
But then you would never come near

For you only see me as a friend
And for that I hold you close to my heart
Maybe that is my problem 
Maybe I should forget about my love and move on
No I can’t 
I won’t

Ok I will
I will tell you how I feel
I look up at you and catch your eye
You look back
I start to talk to tell you how I feel
And then you get up out of your chair
And walk out of the room
Exhale
