Everything To Hide

Just because I cannot have you 
Doesn't mean I cannot love you 
There are many things in life that may not be

But if there ever was
A chance to be your love
I'd want for you to think me righteously

Oh I do have my moments 
Where I want to be beside you
And I just want to tell you to your face

How much I really love you 
How much I do think of you
And that I've known this love no other place

Yet even unrequited
I still do not feel slighted
By loving you my character has grown

And writing poetry
Helps get it out of me
With reticence I walk this road alone
