Secret Admirer



I see you staring at the corner of my eye
I notice you watching me
And I wonder what it is that you see
When you don't even have the courage to greet me "Hi"

But there's something about this boy that makes me take another look
Though my silent friend may keep to himself
His eyes say it all for his lips are no help
For him to look my way once more was all it ever took

This tiresome guessing game must come to an end
Have you no knowledge of what's happening here?
You whispered to my heart but never to my ear
My anticipation is what you must continue to attend

Say what you feel and feel what you say
Because today's regrets are tomorrow's urgent pains.
