I Didn't Want to Stand Without You.

I remember how I wanted you,
such a gorgeous boy; so untouchable.
You were unattainable,
and I thought I could never have you.

"He'll never feel the same,
I'm so alone in this heart.
So close to beauty; so far from mine.
Oh, this fate I dread that keeps us apart,
I would just kill to have this boy."

So I looked away when you looked at me,
I so wished that I was pretty,
maybe then you'd feel the same,
but oh, how I thought you never could.

I tried to move on,
but every time I saw your face,
I couldn't forget my feelings,
indulged in your charms, your grace,
I could only relax and float to space.
I tried to ignore the fact that I was captivated;
you were all I wanted,
and I tried so hard to lie to myself about it.

finally I gave up on hiding,
I put my shaky foot forward;
it took so much guts.

You looked so confused with that kiss,
and I was so scared,
but I would never give up,
no,
I was going to show you my feelings,
I just wanted you to know.

With one kiss, I showed a sample,
and it took awhile,
but I knew you knew,
and boy, you made me smile.
All my time, my effort, my guts;
it was all worth my while.

"He's mine and this is true love,
this is what I have dreamed of.
So long ago it was just a wish,
and now it is my reality.
I am his, and he is finally mine."

I love you, and you love me,
because this is what was meant to be.
It took some time,
but boy, you're mine,
and I thank you for making my dreams come true.
I love you.
