Wanting Your Love

I want you, but I don't want you to know

I need you, but it's something I'm afraid to show

In secrecy I admire your existence

And unceasingly adore you from a distance
Of all the people on this earth you're the only one I admire
And of them all you're the only one I desire
I long your presence, yearn your touch
Little do you know you have me in your clutch

Dangerous dependency I try to circumvent
But its inevitability has arrived without my consent  

A life without you has become unimaginable

And I begin to wonder if your love is attainable
Your heart broken when you fell of cloud nine

Hoping I can restore it by giving you mine
Composed of broken pieces others left behind
Which has damaged your faith in mankind

Wounded by people in your past

Wishing you'd realize I strive to make you my last
And although a happy ending isn't a guarantee

I would love to love you, if you would only let me
