Unrequited Love

I would like to make the words you speak the sound that moves my soul 
 I love it when I can see my reflection mirrored in your eyes 
 As it means your stood beside me making me whole
 
My essence, my emotions, my being you have stole
I hope you know you make my heart flutter like the wings of a butterfly
I would like to make the words you speak the sound that moves my soul 
 
 Can I find the expressions, your beauty to extol?
 Now if I could only ensnare you then I would have won the prize
 As it means your stood beside me making me whole
 
 Together we could be in Edens garden for a stroll
 I could never live without you, I hope you realize
 I would like to make the words you speak the sound that moves my soul 
 
 Your utter beauty makes me lose all my self-control
 My love for you will never be the reason for my demise  
 As it means your stood beside me making me whole
 
But I can never find you, your hidden in some bolt hole  
So until that day I find you my love will slowly die 
 I would like to make the words you speak the sound that moves my soul 
As it means your stood beside me making me whole
