This Love Of Mine...

I love you
not "I did love"
I do love
I always have

It's odd how much I feel
that I want you

You're like my drug
like the air that I breathe
It's odd how much I
seem to need you

Yet never will you know
to the extent of how I feel

So frightened was I
of saying how I loved you
when we were together

You had hinted to me
I now realize as I look back
to get it out of me

But full with fear
of rejection I
held it in

A month passed
and it was too late
I found out the
betrayal and lie

So I had run out of time
to let free all these thoughts of mine
Yet each time I see you pass by,
with a wistful glance I draw a breath.

Unrequited love...
pain for eternity
never known
never will be...
