Online tonight
I wish that you were online tonight.
I have had enough to drink,
That I might actually tell you how I feel.
Thank goodness that you are not online tonight.
If you were,
I might finally tell you how I feel.
The last time I saw you,
When you picked me up at the airport in the snowstorm.
I wanted so badly to ask you,
To kiss me.
I know that you would have pulled over and done just that.
I can feel how much you care for me,
Even from 900 miles away.
We talk on the phone and you tell me,
How good it is hear to my voice.
I want to tell you,
How good it is to hear your voice as well,
But you know what holds me back,
From saying the same to you as well.
I cannot admit to anyone,
The feelings that I have for you.
I am so in love with you,
And I know that you are in love with me as well.
What would happen,
If I said it out loud?
What would that mean?
What would the repercussions be?
We you be content to share me,
With another man that I love?
How could I ever ask that of you?
I love him,
And yet I love you as well.
So here we are,
Stuck in limbo,
Never to really say how we feel.
I guess that it is the way that it has to be,
For now.
