A One-way Love Affair

The night I first saw you

You were singing for her

Pouring your heart out

All for your love, so far away

- 

I saw you again

Still singing your heart out

Not of love, but of pain

Your heart aches for her

 -

The third night confirmed it all

Your singing was a longing

For your love has left you for another

Eyes closed crying for her

 -

Your songs touch my heart

Like the way your fingers touch the guitar strings

Full of love and compassion

Of bliss and oblivion

 -

Then I saw you tonight

Your song is different than before

Your heart’s finally open

Accepting love once more

 -

Here I am finally taking my chances

Waiting, wanting to get closer to you

This heart of mine is yours to keep

This dance of ours is a song of surrender

 -

I give you my all, no holding back

This is our first night together

First time to forever

The wait is finally over

writing for you

im not writing any words for you
i’ll no longer write of you
not until you say
not until you admit
not until you come close to me
be with me the way it should be

ive been waiting long enough
its been really hard
these times are rough
dont even try to bluff

im too shy to get close to you
or even dare have a chat
i only admire you from afar

you know i like you
it seems so obvious
cant you see the looks i give you?
i dont know what to say anymore
adieu

one night

the night is still so young

yet i feel so tired already

a bucket of beer is all i had

and your memories to keep me intact

 

i wait for you in this smoke filled room

i dont like it here

but i stay because of you

where are you?

i’ve been waiting for hours

im getting tired and restless

 

i could die here right now

just looking. staring at you

wish i could talk to you

get to know you better

be closer still

if only you knew

illusion

i look for you in a sea of faces

only to be dismayed

you will never be near me

our paths will never cross

you’re just a beautiful dream

a dream I wouldn’t wanna wake out of

affinity

i feel your pain

the experiences you’ve been through

it weighs me down

wish i could do something about it

do something for you

 

i can only look at you from a distance

though i wish i could be closer

close enough to feel you breathing next to me

 

i close my eyes

listening to your voice

feeling your tight embrace against my fragile body

 

i can only feel you from a far

i can never be next to you

although i wish i could
