I love you so much and yet I cannot say the words, for you don’t belong to me. I am Instead left with hope, and clichés but even that is not a guarantee. So I wait in line, with all my patience Ignoring the imperfections of life And the stirring emotions of my adolescence So that no one can sharpen their sinful knife. I've sacrificed for you, for them for everyone this love, so you can live out your life, happily. I will linger eternally in shadows of our dreams that cannot be.
