I Want You

I know I shouldn’t feel these things that I feel.
Sometimes I wonder, is any of this for real?
I know I’ll get hurt, somewhere near the end.
And I’ll have a broken heart to mend.

Because you show no interest, no feelings for me.
Yet I can’t stay away from you, and neither can you, from me.
You know that I really care.
It’s just that you don’t want me, that isn’t fair.

I know what I’m dealing with.
I know I can’t win.
The odds are against me, Lady Luck has left my side.
Instead, Pain and Despair are along for the ride.

You keep me awake at night, just the thought of you.
I kept my desires at bay, but they revealed true.
I can’t fight my wish of you loving me anymore.
My thoughts rich and full, yet reality empty and poor.

Please, at least tell me you’ll try.
Give me a chance, give me time.
Give me a shot, to finish this rhyme.
I love you so, wish you were mine...

But if you’re not, I’ll be fine, just tell me straight, I don’t do mime.
