In the short time that I've known you
I've come to realize
How all my troubles disappear
When I look in your eyes
All those times that we spent talking
They meant so much to me
And every minute I spend with you
Makes my heart feel free
A gift like that is priceless
And one I don't deserve
I'd love to tell you how much I want you
But I just don't have the nerve
I know I'll never hold you
And I know we'll never kiss
And I know I'll never touch you
Or get the chance to tell you this
So I'll write these words on paper
And I'll keep them to myself
And they'll serve as a reminder
That there once was someone else
