One Day

Standing in your arms,
Not knowing what to do,
I look to you for answers,
But your face reveals no clue.

I know I cannot have you,
You've made that pretty clear,
But it's harder to accept that fact,
When I'm holding you so near.

You tell me to have patience -
All my feelings, I must hide,
You don't see how it hurts me,
I am burning up inside.

I feel your eyes upon me,
So I have to look away,
Although my heart still wants you,
My mind will not obey.

Can't you see why I am cold toward you?
Can't you read it in my eyes?
Every day as my love grows stronger,
It becomes harder to disguise.

I just can't take it any longer,
I fear I won't survive,
I've never felt such pain before,
This is eating me alive.

When will my mind stop spinning,
And these teardrops cease to fall?
When can I move on in life,
If I can endure at all...

I will try to stay away from you,
I will try my hardest not to stare,
I'll walk through every day and night,
Pretending I don't care...

You used to say it was fate we met,
Trust had brought us closer together,
And though you say that the timing is wrong,
Please know that I will wait forever...

I believe that true love transcends time,
And the inevitable is destined to be,
No matter what happens, from now until then,
One day it will be just you and me.

Although I can't go on without you,
For my life would surely end,
I live in the hope of a brighter tomorrow,
And for now I remain your friend.
