The pain I feel, the cruelty I see
All go away when you’re close to me
Though it may seem crazy, or even wrong
But these feelings I have for you are so strong
I cannot explain why I feel like I do
I can only say that there’s something about you
Something that strikes me and holds me so near
It’s like stained glass clear yet, unclear
Though how I feel deep inside, you may never know
For these are the things I just cannot show
I can’t ask you to tell me if you feel the same
Too afraid of the answers, my self-doubt is to blame
So, I’ll sit here and wonder how deeply you feel
About love and attraction with a heartache that’s too real.
