Unrequited Love

Wishful thinking, an unrequited love,
The yearning desire of my soul.
I guess that’s what you’ll always be . . . to me

As I sit here in my room, thinking of you,
I close my eyes and wonder where you are.
Who might you be dreaming of,
who is it you claim to love?
This inclination says that it‘s not me.

Is that how it’s meant to be?
This longing’s taking over me,
And I imagine you and I becoming one
I don’t think you understand
How I want to hold your hand
And pretend you love me for a little while
Oh what I would give to make you smile

Just to have you here
A moment by your side
Just to feel you near,
I’ve been waiting all this time
If only for a moment,
Please just let me dream
Even if that’s all you are
Please just let me dream

I know you don’t really care
But I can’t watch you standing there
I’ve got to feel you close to me right now
I love you with my heart and soul
But, I can’t stop these tears from falling
Every time I hear you calling
Calling for that girl who isn’t me

Just to have you here
A moment by your side
Just to feel you near,
I’ve been waiting all this time
If only for a moment,
Please just let me dream
Even if that’s all you are
Please just let me dream

This heart of mine’s been broke before
But I can’t take it anymore
I can’t pretend that I don’t love you
It’s killing my soul deep down inside
And I know that I can’t mend it one more time
So please let me pretend your heart is mine
I beg you, please just hold me close tonight
