Helpless

My love for you is growing,
though how fast may not be seen.
Soon it will overcome me,
although day with you I dream.

In dreams I'd always hold you
so tightly close to me
never to let you go away,
to love eternally.

Evenings were so quiet.
Nights, of course, were fun.
Just to have you near me
showed that life I'd won.

I shiver and wake to see you
there across the room.
The morning bell rings ending,
we have to part too soon.

Good-bye I whisper silent,
though I know you do not hear.
I hope some day to see you
and be able to call you near.
