My Secret

I'll never, ever tell you
That watching you gives me such joy
The way your lips curl into a smile
The easy grace with which you greet old friends
That twinkle in your eyes when you laugh at a joke
And when you happen to look at me, oh,
It's like a well of happiness just springs up inside
I could stare at you for hours,
Even if you never once stare back
I wish you would look at me,
Laugh at my jokes,
Hold me tight
And when you finally stride over to me,
When I finally get my chance,
It's all I've been waiting for and more
The dam breaks and all the memories come rushing back
I want to continue to hold you
All night
Into daybreak
Like we said we would
In a flash you disappeared,
Taking with you the us
It's easier now
But I could still stare at you for hours
Always wishing,
Wishing you would stare back.
