I sit in silence, and wonder what I did wrong,
As you live your life, and things go on,
But I loved you truly-
Just like you asked,
And nothing was asked in return.
An ocassionaly acknowledgement is all that I need,
And all that I ever sought.
My heart calls your name, true,
But never did I allow my mouth
To tell you.
My words they are from my heart,
And I never forced them onto you,
But alas, now I don't hear your voice,
And it make me wonder--
How can love be bad, how can true feelings
Drive someone away.
The darkness that once surrounded me
Was driven away by your light,
But now I see that light waining,
As the darkness pulls me back in,
And I have nowhere else to go,
I have no one else to love,
I was yours solely,
I am yours still,
Yet you don't know,
And you can't accept my love.
My heart calls your name,
My lips to touch the warmth of yours,
To feel the soft touch,
To hear those words
That only fire up my soul,
And now, I am watching you from afar,
Standing in the silence.
