I watch you

As you watch me,

Suspended in a second,

We're all we're meant to be.

I stare across the room

At you,

I love you,

And you know it's true.

You stare back at me,

But I can't read your mind;

I don't know what you're thinking,

Or if I'll get left behind.

I'm afraid that you don't love me,

Even though I would give anything;

To be your Queen,

Because you'll always be my King.

I watch you

As you watch me,

Staring with my heart wide open,

Right here for all to see.

But I can't read your heart,

You keep it hidden from my sight,

And in the secret places of my mind,

I'm afraid that that's alright.

I'm afraid that I don't mind,

When you smile at her,

And salute her 'brilliance'

With a grinning 'yes, sir'.

I'm afraid that I will lose you,

Because I'm too afraid to try

In those times when I think that

Our love is a lie.

So I watch you

As you watch me,

And I wonder if maybe, really,

All I want is to be free.
