Love from Afar

Whenever I see you, my heart beats faster
And my legs do tremble and shake
But for anyone to know, would be a disaster
So I'll keep my secret, for everyone's sake

I long for you, to see you smile
To hold your hand and kiss you
And every time you leave here
I want to tell you how I missed you

I wonder if you feel the same
But I fear I'll never know
And even if you did
Your feelings, would they show?

Or is it all in my head?
A misguided fabrication
Should I forget what you said
Please give me some indication

I could never ask these things
I can never give myself away
I can never tell you how I feel
For fear of what you might say

So I'll keep this to myself
And love you from afar
And one day I hope you know
Just how very special you are
