Unseen lover

I am in love and in dread
I wonder if life is what it seems
I hear you talking inside my head
I see your face in my dreams
I want you to love me the way I love you
I am in love and in dread

I pretend to not see you when really I do
I feel happy about something you said
I touch your arm with affection
I worry about being mislead
I cry when I think of rejection
I am in love and in dread

I understand why it can't be
I say i want no pretension
I dream for you to love me
I try to get your attention
I hope someday you will love me
I am in love and in dread
