I Wish
I wish I hadn’t told you
Or…covered the truth with lies
But you’d know the way I feel
Cause it’s written in my eyes
Or maybe you can hear it
When you’re standing close to me
The pounding of my poor heart
As it struggles to be free
I know you cannot fathom
How I could love you this way
You just smile and look amused
Thinking this is all child’s play
Perhaps I AM quite childish
Impulsive in all I do
But beware, I’m ALL woman…
A woman obsessed by you!
You believe it’s just a phase
This craze is not meant to last
If only you could know, dear
That I’m going downhill fast
I have no way to fight it
For my heart my will denies
My soul is so tormented
There are cracks in my disguise
Resolved, I keep my distance
For I know you are not brave
But your heart must surely know
Your presence is what I crave
To touch you is forbidden
To worship you is pure sin
Heaven help this poor woman
There is no way that I can win!
