A Longing Heart by Amanda

You know I can never say "Yes" to you.

You know it would never work.

It seems truly right, but I just can't do it.

Something keeps me away.

Something holds me strongly.

I can't tell you how much it hurts me

That I can't tell you what you want to hear.

But you know as well as I do

I could never say "yes".

It makes a gap within my heart,

The longing that I feel.

The pain that leaves inside me

is nothing near to slim.

Something keeps me away.

What I do not know.

I wish I could be there with you

Caring for your every need.

But I can't be there,

and I never can say

"yes" to you, my love.
