(a)
He sits, paying no attention to me.
I wonder what is going through his head.
(b)
It hurts knowing friends is all we will be.
His unexpected glace turns my face red.
(c)
His mud brown eyes are so piercing and
deep.
(d)
Then a smile fills his flawless, tanned
face.
(c)
If only into his heart I could creep.
The slow motion moment makes my
(d)
heart race.
Our time together is a dream come true
(e)
But I fear he can see into my heart.
When I am with him, I don't feel so blue,
(f)
But something new won't be able to
start.
(e)
(f)
Since nothing will be, onward I must go.
These feelings I have to hide and not
show.
