In the Beginning

In the beginning, it didn't matter, if I saw your face In the beginning , I didn't care, if someone else held a place In the beginning my feelings had not yet come I had no idea from where they had sprung Your other face had no name, and it didn't matter Yes, at first it was a game The picture had started forming and putting to mind a place It's becoming much more clearer that this someone has a face So what is going to happen, now that I'm standing in an ocean My feelings are getting stronger, and are sure to cause a commotion I'm left in the middle with no way out What are you going to do, to me there is some doubt I'm not demanding that you make a choice I've showed you how much I care, and not with just my voice Should I keep caring, for someone who has another Would it be appropriate for me to have another My feelings are there for all the eye to see Can you not tell, that my feelings for you run deep I feel that you care about me, and yours are not far behind But do you not seek, for what it is you'll find I know that you and I, under different circumstances did meet Should I take a leave, and bow out in defeat I know this face you have not just met Caring for you to me comes easy and easier you can bet But will I be left standing, standing here all alone Should I just take me heart and be gone Should I and my feelings be kept inside Should I have to crawl within myself let my feelings die For at this point, my heart is in your hands I'm asking a simple question not one thing do I demand For someone like you I have waited, I have waited for so long For someone like you to take me in your arms
