Unrequited love

You fill my world with happiness,

A joy I can't explain,

Your caring words, your sweet attempts,

My heart just can't detain.

If people I hold close to me

Were flowers of my heart,

You'd bloom and outgrow all the rest

Though we be far apart.

But someone else is close to you

In ways I can't compete,

Your love is with her, only her,

And I just can't defeat.

I long to hold you safe and close,

Have you, forever mine,

And know that you return my love

Would simply be divine.

My dreams will ever hold you tight,

Where I wish and desire

Of one day when you see my heart,

You see you cause it's fire.

If pain and hurt led me to you,

I would suffer blindly,

To know you might one day see me

And heal my heart so kindly

Is what helps me defeat each day,

It helps me see them through.

And now I send this one last kiss

Softly from me to you.
