The Part of Me That No One Sees

Your skin as pale as a morning dove
And eyes that twinkle like stars above
But someone whom I cannot love
That is why you will always be
The part of me that no one sees

Shall I then merely hold this passion?
Until mine regal face turns ashen?
Why torment me in this awful fashion?
It's just not right for you to be
The part of me that no one sees

Try as I might, it will not change
These lucid thoughts seem out of range
And I shall not from you estrange
I do not want for you to be
The part of me that no one sees
