Spend all my time waiting,

wishing in vain

for you to reach out to me

and take a step in my direction.

Spend all my time thinking,

Imagining deep conversations

Expressing the truth to you.

Yet I bite my lip at every opportunity.

Spend all my time wondering,

What if you heard me say

That my heart will not stop loving you.

What pain could your response bring?

Spend all my time hurting.

I have so much love for you

And each day it slips through my fingers

And disappears to the winds…wasted.

Spend all my time loving you…

…unrequited.
