I want you as she wants you
Yet, I speak not word.
I ache with a longing
Yet, no sound can be heard.
The object of my affection
You dance before my eyes
Yet, I dare not to reach
For I see how she tries.
What am I afraid of
That I would hide what I feel?
The flames of my passion
Do I fear she would steal?
Would I dim in her shadow,
Or pale in your sight?
This painful kept secret
Is one not easy to fight.
I can see in your eyes
That you long for her near,
So I take to the background
As my heart sheds a tear.
What I feared has now happened
My place with you gone.
Where once stood a knight
There now lays a pawn.
Mind lost in deep thought
I’m unsure what to do,
But I’m going to get over this.
I will make it through.
The answer is clear to me,
Thought, my heart cries out, “No!”
The sure way to peace
Is by letting you go.
Yet, I speak not word.
I ache with a longing
Yet, no sound can be heard.
The object of my affection
You dance before my eyes
Yet, I dare not to reach
For I see how she tries.
What am I afraid of
That I would hide what I feel?
The flames of my passion
Do I fear she would steal?
Would I dim in her shadow,
Or pale in your sight?
This painful kept secret
Is one not easy to fight.
I can see in your eyes
That you long for her near,
So I take to the background
As my heart sheds a tear.
What I feared has now happened
My place with you gone.
Where once stood a knight
There now lays a pawn.
Mind lost in deep thought
I’m unsure what to do,
But I’m going to get over this.
I will make it through.
The answer is clear to me,
Thought, my heart cries out, “No!”
The sure way to peace
Is by letting you go.
