If only you knew
What I would give
To have something true
Something real and lasting
With someone like you.
You are making me long
For things I used to know,
Things that had me drawn,
Things I had no right to ask
Because wanting and asking are wrong.
I wish for things I cannot have
You are at the top of this list.
Between us there is no merging path.
So I walk alone here and I try
To stop longing for things I cannot have.
Why cant I get you out of my mind?
Why cant I forget your touch?
You were always so kind,
So attentive to me
You were such a lucky find.
Why can I not have you?
Why can I not plead my hearts desire?
Why cant I have something true
Something pure, something real,
Something lasting, with you?
