You are the one

I knew just who you were
from the moment I saw your face,
Another one I could not hold,
another endless chase.

I did not turn and run
even though it hurt to stay,
Tied to this affection,
I could not turn away.

I did not search, kept to myself,
why did it have to be,
That I’d find someone so right,
yet so imperfect for me.

Each moment with you precious
but each feeling so pathetic,
I’m falling so deep into emotion,
no one will be sympathetic,

My image of precision,
right there for me to see,
Teasing and taunting
because we can never be.

The person I dreamed of
so close but still not near,
Distant because of truth,
but close because you’re here.

I don’t know exactly what it was that got me to your door,
But my heart belongs to you,
Because you make me feel so sure

I don’t want any other person,
My searching days are done
Because even though this will never work,
I know you are the one.
