Secret Admirer
By Elizabeta
May 8, 1998
for months I've watched you
silently from afar
dreaming of you
so close and yet so far
silent observing
outside looking in
dreaming of a love
that's never been
terrified of being hurt
always in the dark
wanting so badly to be loved
yet afraid to give my heart
but I think you think
that everything's a joke
and all I hold are
fragile dreams of smoke
they always get
blown away in the end
nothing more than fairy tales
and let's pretend
you like to play games
and you do so with my heart
you don't know you hold
what's easilly torn apart
I am just a shadow
faintly seen in the night
you don't even know me
I lie just out of sight
all you know about me
is just my name
all I know about you
is just about the same
maybe it's just a crush
maybe it's not meant to be
but I miss your presence
whenever you have to leave
I can't tell you how I feel
your heart is one I'll never win
for you can never be mine
because you like my best friend
