I wake and the first thought I have is you,
My arms yearn to hold you,
Yet, you are so far away.
I dare not tell you,
For fear that you would stay away,
For fear that you would not even look my way,
Alas, the words that flow,
They are the truth, and always, I speak it.
I cannot help the feelings that have come,
And I dare not hide them,
But you cannot see me, and I have but a photograph,
And a dream.
I only have these dreams and desires
Because of you.
An angel that has been placed here on earth,
A blessing from heaven.
And it would be selfish for me to want you for myself,
The world is a better place because of you.
