My lover

You are my love
but I am not your lover.
Even though I care for you, adore you,
praised you, be willing to die for you.
I am still not your lover.

Every night I have prayed for you
that you might find
Love like the way
I have for you.

I am not your lover
and could never be
For I am not equal to you
and could never be.

For I have committed a mortal sin
A sin that should have never been
Oh my love, my only love
forgive me for not showing
you how much I love you

Even though I am not your lover.
I just want you to know that I love you.
