The Idolator Unrequited
You leave me breathless,
Excited and aroused
But ultimately frustrated
Ours is a love than can never be
Not that it's wrong or anything
Only totally impractical
That's all.
You are so far away,
Socially and geographically,
That our paths are unlikely to cross
anytime this side of hell freezing over.
Besides, what would you want
with the likes of me?
I'm a nobody
I'm just the guy who worships
The ground you walk on
Who is transfixed by your image
Every time I see it
On TV or on a poster
Advertising your latest movie
You are a superstar
I'm a fan
I always have been
Right from the start
When you were up and coming
And making a name for yourself
I was a fan even then
Your number one fan
I love you
I know what I feel is real
Even though I also know
You will never love me the same way
It doesn't matter
The way I feel about you means
I forgive you anything.
Maybe you do know
About me
And how I feel about you?
Maybe, but unlikely.
It's my favourite fantasy
The one I imagine most
When I miss you.
Maybe I'll make the effort
To come and visit you
In your grand home
One of these long lonely days.
It would be amazing
To meet up at last.
Would you like that?
