He's on my mind

can't stop thinking about him

but I must

it will never work with us

too different we are

why does it get stronger every day?

I don't see him, I want to

I see him, I want him to know

but I cannot tell him

what is hidden in my heart

I'd scare him off

I always do.

I'm too extreme in my emotions

yet so is he

that would make it worse wouldn't it?

I should have told him long before now

how I feel about him

before I felt so strongly

but can't go back now

too hard to hide it

I must tell him

yet I must forget him

it would never work

we've nothing in common

except for the longing of someone to have

to have and hold

we each want someone to want us

so much is going on

but still I sit and think

of him

of only him

other dilemmas surround me

drown me

but he

he consumes my mind

I must give up

though I'm not sure I know how
