I try so hard to make him love like I
Love him, but he’s incapable of caring.
I’d given up my romantic desires. But then,
You came into my life and showed me love.
Forever changed. My heart? Forever yours.

And even though this isn’t right, this affair,
I can’t resist the emotional bliss. You get
Me…something no one else has ever done.
Attraction isn’t in the way you look, but
The way you make me feel. I need you near.

Although you know I love him, and always will,
You won’t give up on me. But why? Why?
Not lust, I know. Not beauty either, for I
Am not one whose beauty stands above all else.
Perhaps it is the mind. Your mind and mine.

Maybe it’s wrong. And maybe I shouldn’t try
With you. But my heart is torn in two directions.
On one hand, you. The one that cares…and shows it.
The other, him. The one I can’t refuse.

I love two people…people I can’t have.
