What he doesn't know

What he doesn't know
Is that I love him in my heart
I knew that he was special
I could tell right from the start

What he doesn't know
Is that when I close my eyes
All I can see is his image
As he slowly passes by

What he doesn't know
Is that I remember every word
Every single thing he says
Everything I've heard

What he doesn't know
Is that I dream of him at night
And what I really long for,
Is for him to be in my sight

What he doesn't know
Is that I long for him to say
Just one single word
Anything, so I can stay

What he doesn't know
Is that I treasure all the time
Every minute that I'm with him
Seems like a lifetime in my mind

What he doesn't know
Is that we're so far apart
I wish that he knew
Because it's tearing at my heart

What he doesn't know
Is that when he doesn't say goodbye
He just gets up and leaves
It almost makes me cry

What he doesn't know
Is that I long to see him smile
To be with him just once
To make this all worth while

What he doesn't know
Is that every day I find
He becomes more desirable
And always very kind

What he doesn't know
Is all of the pain I feel
Because keeping this from him
Makes it all too real

What he doesn't know
Is that I want to hold him tight
Keep him close to me
To make everything alright

What he doesn't know
Is that everything he said
Repeats over, and over
As I replay it in my head

What he doesn't know
Is what i'll never say
Everything I thought of
I threw it all away

What he doesn't know
Is everything I hide
Afraid of what he'll think
I keep it all inside
