My Love

I have a love inside of me. It never goes away.
And it’s quite clear it will be here until my dying day.
For in my heart I’ve put someone, and in my heart they’ll stay.
It isn’t to the heavens now, but to a girl I pray.

I do not need to see her, at least not with my eyes.
For every time I close them, she’s fully realized.
Her hair, her skin, her perfect face that always makes me smile.
Her voice as sweet as music, enchants me all the while.

I’d give it all to see her. To know that she is real.
Give anything to hold her and tell her how I feel.
But even if I saw her, my feelings I’d conceal.
For such words are so wrong for someone like me to reveal.

So I must simply love her, my angel from above.
And just make sure she is no more than who I’m dreaming of.
For I am like an ugly bat, and she: a graceful dove.
Still, I will always care for her: My life, my light, my love.
