Fate is a playful thing We met at a place that brought us near yet so far We met at a time when you are with her and I am with him You smile with her while I ache with him. And so my heart yearns for you Behind your sweet smile is a hidden mischief Behind your quiet demeanor is a brilliant mind Behind your gentle eyes is a determined soul. I see it all, does she see it, too? I wish I could tell you all of this But my wish remains a wish And I could only watch you from afar Not knowing whether you see me too. Yes, fate is a playful thing. While I never meant to fall for you I am now falling deep and falling hard Deep into a fantasy that could never be. Still there is part of me that wishes That someday we'd meet again In another lifetime Where I could choose you And hope that you'd choose me, too.
