Deep Down
Deep down, so not spoken, is my love for him.
It comes over in waves that shock me, most truly.
Deep down, like a river or ocean, it nestles,
and gives me false peace at the start of the day.
Deep down, where I want it, for better to hide it.
Married men don't want you to chase after them!
Deep down I feel it in time with my heartbeat.
Deep down is the yearning at the end of the day.
At the start of the night, when moon is bright shining,
I think of him going to bed, just like me.
Deep down, I just know it, he longs to caress me,
but, deep down, he knows that it never can be.
