My Mind, Soul, and Heart



When using my mind, my soul,
and my heart
All I do is think deep thoughts 
of you
My mind, soul, and heart all
tell me to love you.
But how can I love you if you
don't love me?
How can you try to love me if
you've got a girlfriend?
How can I love you if I have
a boyfriend?

How do I get you to notice me
without causing a scene?
What do I do to love you when
I don't know you well?
How do I get to know you when
I have no courage?
Why can't I overcome my shyness
when it comes to you?

When I wasn't using my mind, soul, 
and heart
I thought that I loved someone
that wasn't you
I thought he was special to me
and no one else could ever compare
I now have found my feelings for him
were just a little crush

I then sat down and thought
about relationships
I probed deeply into my mind, soul,
and my heart
I searched to find love for the person
I thought I had loved
But in my mind when I thought
of love
All I saw was you kissing me,
holding me, loving me
In my heart I felt something 
so overpowering
In my soul I searched for a vision
of who I should love
My soul sent that vision to
my mind
My mind sent that overpowering feeling
to my heart.

Now what am I supposed to
do about this?
How do I make you see me as 
more than a friend?
Why did I have to search into my
thoughts so deeply?
Why'd I use my mind, my heart and
my soul
To have to end up loving an image
of you?
