Be in your Heart

Every time I think about it
I don't know whether to cry or laugh
I always seem to want
What I simply cannot have.

I can't kiss those lips
But I quiver at your touch
I know I can't have you
But I want you so much

It would lead to more heartache
More sadness and pain
And yet I find myself thinking
About you again and again

I can't just give in
I've made it so far already
But what I'd give for a minute
Of you holding me

I see those eyes staring my way
And at once I'm hypnotized
I feel things I never knew
When I look into those eyes

And for a moment it's just us
It seems meant to be
But my common sense kicks in
And I come back to reality

You smile, not knowing
What that smile will do
I almost want to cry
Because I can't be with you

People say I'm crazy
That it's obvious you want me as well
But we both share unspoken vows
Of loving never to tell

We both know it's not the right time
And we don't want a fling
But I wish for just one day
I hadn't vowed a thing

I'd hold you closer than ever
I'd tell you all I feel
And for once, I'd be alright
But that is just surreal

Just one day that you would hold me
Close against your chest
So I could hear and be in your heart
And lay my love to rest

But we can't do that
I know it and you know too
But nothing can stop me
From loving everything about you

Wanting things I can't have
Hoping someday it will be
That you will hold and love
No one else but me.
