Written on my Face

Friends say it’s written on my face,
That I only really deeply care for him,
That I should get my feelings back in place,
Because I used to be someone who gave a toss.

I love him so much, I can’t help it,
I sometimes let the fact I feel angry,
Show through, Im just a stupid git,
Caring so much for someone I don’t know.

My friends are deadly important to me,
But its true, I would give them up,
For just one minute in his arms, you see?
I who thought I’d never lust let alone love.

Though im sure they understand,
I would lay down my life for them all,
But if my heart-that so craves his hand,
Had to choose-I would save him.

So forgive my heart that yearns and breaks,
Burns with passion for him: such a perfect being,
I can not tell him how my heart aches,
But my friends say it’s written on my face.
