One Broken Heart

 

 

One Broken Heart

 

Every moment that I see you,
joy fills my empty heart,
but me you'll always look through,
because we are apart.

It saddens me that you are near
but mine you'll never be.
Every day I've shed a tear
for me you cannot see.

You will remain in happiness
with that girl on your arm,
but this won't make me love you less
though my heart it does harm.

I sometimes watch the way you act
and to me you are perfect.
There's nothing that you could have lacked,
no flaw I could detect.

So rarely have you talked to me,
a close friend I am not,
but cherished every word will be
every one that I have caught.


I like to dream that it'll work out,
that you might fall for me,
but when you smile at her I doubt
that dream will ever be.

My love kept secret is better;
your heart I'll never take.
So that your love does not deter,
just one heart needs to break.
