and that’s why sometimes you can’t see
why I’m in pain when you are gone
and time apart seems so long.
Why I need to feel your strong embrace
and can’t hold back from touching your face.
Why I can’t help but stare at you
and observe the simplest things you do.
There’s no other reason I can find
to explain why you’re always on my mind
except that sometimes you can’t see
because I love you more than you love me.
That doesn’t mean I underestimate your love,
it still makes my heart fly to the heavens above,
but when I look in your eyes it can’t be denied
more love than you do I hold inside.
Perhaps it’s because I’ve watched you from afar
long before you became my shining star.
Or maybe the answer is simpler still,
maybe our love was all my will.
I pushed too hard when I met you
and maybe you felt there was nothing to do
except love me back to save my heart
and now it is too hard to part.
But if my love you don’t believe,
and at once you want to leave,
I won’t ask you to stay with me,
I’ll hide my love so you can’t see
that I love you more than words can say,
and you can turn and walk away.
