My love, how is it that you are not mine yet I am yours?
Oh how I wish it was so, that you were and I was.
Does fate not decree your heart to meet mine?
Should you choose to accept, my heart will be yours forever.
Let time not bring us apart and I will stay true to you.
I may not be able to offer you much except for me and what love I have.
Whomever you choose to share a part of yourself with is lucky and I cannot help but envy.
I wait and I pour my feelings out in the hopes that you'll notice.
Would you let me hold you in the night when sadness overwhelms you?
Could you let yourself be happy with me?
Torture it is to have you smile at me as I know that smile isn't mine to have.
I bask in the warmth I feel with you, as short as it is.
Lovely it feels, to experience even a piece of you.
Never mind that I haven't all of you.
Perhaps I don't need it.
Then why does my heart cry out as you walk away?
Unrequited I am.
Bother me not it should, yet I feel as though you are my other.
Damn these uncontrollable feelings we have no say over.
Slaves we are to what our hearts feel.
Think of my proposition, I implore.
I will wait the rest of my lifetime for you if you wish.
