A Second's Thought

As I sit here all alone,
All I have to think about is you
How perfect you are
About how I love everything about you

To me, you are perfection
I never believed in perfection until we met
I then knew perfection existed
But only in you

It hurts to know you
Without having the chance to hold you,
All I want to do is show you
How I really feel inside

I want to tell you how I feel
How I want to be the only one
How I want to kiss you here
And hold your hand, telling you how perfect you are
But I dread I will get turned down

You will take me and cast me aside
And never acknowledge me again
Yet I will still believe you are perfection

You are so precious to me
How I could feel this way is so unbelievable
So confusing
I don't want to accept it
But my feelings tell me otherwise
It's as if I'm racing the clock to win you over

I don't know what to do with my feelings for you
I'll probably keep them inside
And tell no one
Because I'll never get the chance to show you my feelings

I don't think you'll give me the chance
If you do, there is not time enough in this lifetime to explain them to you through mere words

My feelings are so deep, I will need an eternity to explain them
In comparison to an eternity, this is one seconds thought;

I would change the stars themselves for you. I would make angels realize how perfect you are to me.
You will be unaware of my presence. I will be like your guardian angel. Always there for you. Always watching.
When you are sad, I will cheer you up. If you ever fall, know I will be there to pick you back up on your feet. If you ever feel lonely, I will be at your side, keeping you company. When someone hurts you, I will heal you and you will grow stronger and become immune to pain.
When you look into the night sky, I will be looking at it also. Only then will you realize you have had help through all of your troubles. You will never know it was I. But you will live the rest of your life wondering who I am. And I will spend the rest of my life, watching over you.

I wish I could have told you how I felt
Maybe you felt the same way
I doubt that but maybe
Just know, I will always be there
