Her name is unimportant to me
But for all her beauty she is Aphrodite
The goddess of love the goddess of my heart
And I hate it whenever she and I are apart
She doesn’t know how I feel
Although there are times when I hope she will
Whenever I see her, my heart yearns for her embrace
Because in my dreams, all I can see is her sweet face
I want to be strong enough to tell her “I love you”
And I want her to know that my love is true
I yearn, I ache, I long for, desire and pine for
For her to love me, to stop my heart from being so sore
I would do whatever it takes to be with her always
To see her for the rest of my long, lonely days
“I love you” is what I long to say
But I don’t know the safest way
I fear the pain that she might bring
Yet I want to give her a ring
I want to tell her “Be mine, my love”
And see her, as graceful as a dove
But yet I fear what pain might do
If she does not love me too
So I sit and watch, and do nothing but stare
At a love so true that it’s rare
One day, perhaps I may tell her how I feel
Even if my heart, the words might kill
But until I have courage, we stay apart
Even though it is tearing at my heart
Will I have the courage? I doubt it
Is this why I stare and sit
“I love you” Three little words, one small speech
And if I say them, my love will reach
To her heart, and pull her close to me
So that she and I, we might actually be
But until that day, we stay apart
Even though I love her with all of my heart
If she reads this, I hope she knows my love is true
And I hope that she might say to me “I…I love you”
