I would love to be close to you,
but I'm afraid you won't notice;
I would love to be sweet to you,
but I'm afraid you won't indulge;
I would love to speak with you,
but I'm always in loss of words;
I would love to stay with you,
but my self keeps pulling me away.
But know this,
Your smile keeps my world spinning,
Your radiance is my cherished prize;
I long to wrap you in my arms -
As the sea covers the shores.
Just say the word and I'll be near.
