One-Sided Romance

by Peter Williams   Aug 1, 2005


Hear the rhythm,
Slowly beating,
Slowly breathing.
With each beat my heartaches,
With each breathe I realize the mistakes.
To love is a great feeling,
But to be loved is an even greater feeling.
Love can be healing,
Love can be revealing.
I will always love you,
As long as the moon continues to shine,
Don’t wipe away your tears.
As the planets begin to align,
Not everybody cheers.
To love and be loved is a feeling one can’t begin to describe.
Love has lasted through the ages,
Into history it was transcribe in the world’s many pages.
Love brings definition to the feelings and actions we don’t understand,
But we would fight for it,
Live for it,
Die for it,
And do as it commands.
There are many things in which I miss,
In the darkness in which I lie,
Waiting for that first kiss,
As I begin to cry.
A heart that is not broken,
But wishes to break.
A word that wasn’t spoken,
My head begins to ache.
Won’t someone save me?
… From this loneliness and sorrow.
Is there a guarantee?
… That I will live tomorrow.
Take my hand and hold it tight,
Close your eyes and don’t let go.
Everything will be alright,
But what will happen you mustn’t know.
Is it fate or is it chance?
Here’s my heart and here’s the key.
One-sided romance will follow you and it will follow me.

    Wow, that was awesome. It flows really well. I totally understand what you're saying. I have fallen victim to a one sided love. Anyway, keep up the good work and take care.
