I was in love with you since the moment I laid eyes on you And I watched you from a distance ever since Memorizing every little thing The way your hair falls in your face when you bend down The way the curve of your back makes me drool like a dog The way your eyes rested their gaze on me once Then flitted away The way I would spend hours drawing scenes of our "relationship" You probably didn't even know I existed Or maybe you did Why didn't you ever acknowledge me? If you had You would've been amazed with all that I know about you When all you know about me is that I'm a nobody But as I was building up the courage to say hello The courage to speak your name Just as I had so many times before under my breath The courage to tell you that I loved you A shadow blocked my path She charmed you Quicker than any of the other girls you never paid attention to My heart sank once I saw the blush on your cheeks The way you said her name The hope in your eyes How foolish I was To think that you would care about me When there were people like her So the love in silence continued Watching you from afar As you kissed her As you got down on one knee As you marveled at the baby in her arms Why didn't I speak up? When I still had the chance Now I'm condemned to a life Of desperate love In silence
