The Desire I Have For You

I used to watch you from the street as I passed as often as I could you never saw-you never looked- up from your desk-or understood the desire I have for you I wanted often to take your hand hold it tight-could you understand would you surrender all your love to me if only I were truly free the desire I have for you A lovers kiss-their sweet embrace I close my eyes you touch my face like lovers do when sweet song sings on bended knee-would take my ring the desire I had for you So lonely in my life-in love completely with another's wife-not mine she couldn't understand- to love the other of another man the desire I have for you I still watch you from the street- I still pass as often as I can- you never look-you never can you could never really understand the desire I have for you
