A Love Unrequited

I love you....
If only I could show you how
If only I could tell you now
How much you truly mean to me.

Every day I think of you
Your voice resounds in my head
With every moment we're apart,
you only grow in my heart.

I wish I could let you know
How truly amazing you are
how you have broken every wall
and healed every scar.

My love for you is like no other
That I have ever felt before
a love That's brewed for years
And only now would you truly hear

I finally know why I've been so confused
why things have never been right with others
it's because I truly belong to you
Like a bird to a feather

I wish to give you the world
To be the one who makes you happy
to truly give you what you deserve
To give you my love That's on reserve

I fear that the one I love
will never love me
that like a dove
will prefer to be free

And should that be true
Let me tell you what I would do
I'll be the the shield
The sword to wield

I'll be whatever you need me to be
because to see you happy will be enough for me

But however happy I may be
to find the one that is for me
To keep this to myself for now
a love I wish to be a vow
