Cherish the Moment

Wishing that I could tell you, my feelings are hidden.
Wanting to tell you it all; my feelings for you seem forbidden.
Eager to see your beauty, lost in your ravishing eyes.
Dying to embrace you, never wanting to say the goodbyes.

Cherishing each moment I spend with you, feeling weightless.
Without you in my life, I feel worthless.
Hearing your voice, it makes me smile.
If you’d just give me an inch, I’d take your heart a mile.

Knowing my efforts are futile, still I try.
Each time I fail, a little piece of me will die.
Remaining persistent, I press on to prove my worth.
The warmth you give my heart, replicating that of a hearth.

Every time I see your beautiful face, love and hate collide.
Waiting for the day it might; I abide.
Awareness now grows clear; it’ll never be.
The truth of failure; now I see.

Making my departure, I quit my efforts to win you over.
Remaining friends, we are not completely over.
Now I say goodbye, my true feelings diminish.
My pursuit of happiness, for now, makes its finish.
