The Secret Lovers

You are so beautiful to me

Not just the line to a love song

But the words I think of when people ask

How I feel for you, even if it's wrong

I love the way you hold me

And the way you stroke my hair

I love how you make me nervous

And all those ties you wear

I love the way you look at me

When I walk across the room

Like I’m the only person in the place

The only flower that came to bloom

I love the little specs in your eyes

I could stare at them forever

And in those specs all I see

Is you and I together.

And how could I forget

The thing I love the most

How you make me laugh to tears

Even when it’s me you roast

Second to our laughter

Is the passion in your kiss

Hands roaming, a breathless pause

It doesn’t get better than this

But when I snap back into reality

It’s such a shame to find

That I don’t belong to you

And I can’t call you mine

How I feel I shouldn’t show

So when people are around I won’t

And just because I shouldn’t love you

Doesn’t mean I don’t.
