Senses Heighten

Senses heighten when I'm near you.
My heart beats with an excitement I never knew.
The day we met, beauty took a new form.
Never had I been so torn.

And from within your heart clear and strong;
Guarded as a mother does her brood.
And all the while my admiration grew,
Until I finally admitted that I loved you.

Yes, still I undoubtedly do...

But what to do, we've parted ways,
Connected only by telephone waves;
Your heart is at home now, as it should be,
And mine with my work and my family.

But should we ever meet again, even once,
I hope it in heaven so that I can be with you.
So I can stop pretending that I'm over you.
So I can finally express my love for you.
