"Thoughts Inside"
12-26-97
I feel your heart beating, you turn me to dust
Because I couldn’t love back, I only had lust.
I needed something; I wanted someone else,
But I was wrong, the feelings were false.
I never loved, never knew you, or felt this way.
I was living from the buffet of life from day to day.
And then, I suddenly discovered you.
You are like no one; something completely new.
You are like a beautiful breath of fresh air,
Only real. I see your smile, and smell your hair.
On my feelings, you have a strange effect,
It’s not love I have for you. It’s a deep respect.
I’m afraid to hurt you, I’m afraid to leave.
I adore you; and I want to believe
That you have the same feelings for me.
I know it’s too soon, I know this can’t be,
But maybe, there is always that chance,
That we could be together, as a romance.
And I look on this with doubtful eyes,
Wondering if this is all just another disguise
Of the confusion, and the want inside,
And the feelings of love denied.
I have no answer for you, nor will I ever,
I can only promise, that I’ll remember you forever.
