I can't voice them, I know this already
I see you most every day
And when I see that golden head making its way down the hall
I feel a smile grace my lips
I'll never have the guts to look you in the eye
And when you face me, I want to cry
Because I find myself staring at the ground
The only time I am able to truely look at you
And drink in your appearance
Is when your back is to me
And as beautiful as the back of your head is,
I long to be able to look at your face
I want to stare at it, until I memorize every detail, large and small
Really, it sucks, to love you so much
And want more than anything to be with you
But with our history, it makes it so strange
It feels awkward to be near you
I feel like I'm suffocating when we're in the same room
And I want to cry and tell you all I feel
How you hurt me so bad, and I can't stop loving you
But I manage to keep it all inside
Why make things even more awkward between us?
The little times I see your face
They're brief flashes, a glance
I walk into a room, you happen to be in, and you look at me
A small smile on your face, then in an instant its gone
And you're back to work again
For a devil, you look so much like an angel
How I long for you to look at me
And let me memorize you
I want to stare at you and look at your face forever
The small glances I manage to steal
They make my cheeks burn red, my heart do double-time
And they make my stomach tie in knots
I wish I could find courage to steal looks more than when your back is turned
I have your back memorized, but that's not enough
I love you, I hate that our past
Has made it impossible to be comfortable in your presence
I can't meet your eye save for a brief moment
And even that causes me to nearly faint
You are like a priceless gem, a picture only priveleged eyes can see
Even a devil can be wonderful...
