Shameless
there should be guilt
but i have no guilt
only the sorrow that i
can't tell her i wish
she was mine
instead of his
it's because of her beauty
that i find her kindness
overwhelming
everything about her is
overwhelming
the way she looks me
in the eye
sacrifice for her
is not really sacrifice
but wages
for services rendered
in just her being
hope is not only hope but also
a dream for the right time
for me to say i love her and
her response, i love you also
and love is only love
where sacrifice means nothing
and hope is something
two people have in common
your overwhelming kindness
and beauty
attracts me to you, to love
to sacrifice
i should feel guilty
for who you are
but all i have is sorrow
because your not mine
