To My Unrequited Love

the sound of your voice
the sparkle of your eye
obsessed with no choice
without these I'd surely die
there is something about you
something sweet
I know my love is true
I can't be discreet
I only have one favor to ask
please believe the truth of my feelings
and take them to task
you have left me reeling
in you I can trust
in you I see beauty
I feel I must
I feel it's my duty
to tell you my thought is now clearer
to tell you that I need your understanding
to tell you I wish you were nearer
and to tell you, that I'm not demanding
I merely mean to make it known
that I hold you dear to me
I hope that's what I've shown
and now, I hope you see
how much loving you has meant to me
