There she stood
So close but yet so far away
And I stood and yearned for the day
That I could be the one she loved.....

Yet she was so very far from me
So far out of reach she seemed to be
That there was little chance that she could see

The depth of my affection

Was there hope?
Was there even a chance?
That she could perhaps simply spare a glance?

And gaze at me so deep in love
And love me freely as a dove
And spare upon me the feelings of

An angel....envied by love

There she stood, oblivious
And here I stand so envious

That one so angelic such as her
Could pass my mind in such a blur
Feelings deep inside me did so stir
At the mere sight of her......

I stood unnoticed
My eyes so focused

On the beauty which stood in my presence

There she stood
So slight of size
Without one fault
Seen by my eyes
All doubts of her I do despise

For she.....is my treasure

There she stood
Then did depart
And with her left
My beating heart

For it is hers
Though she knows not
Of all the battles
Which I have fought

For just one chance
One ray of hope
Though I did slip
Down that slippery slope

Which we insist on calling "love"

There she stood
And there she went
For the flame in my heart
At last was spent......
