You said you were not the one for me.
I think you are not the one for me.

And yet,
Every night I go to bed and wake up to the thought of you.
Every day I walk the streets hoping I would run into you.

I said I liked you so much.
You said, likewise.

You said perhaps one day we could be even more than this.
I said, yes, we could.

You said I should be with somebody else.
I think I should be with you right here, right now.

Every heartbeat, every moment, every second,
I have you in my heart, in my mind, in my dreams.

I do not say "I love you" for it would be a lie.
I do not say "I miss you" for it is already a fact.

We cannot cross this line between us,
to respect what has already been.

I want to break all my rules for you.
You cannot let me do that to myself.

I fall weak on my knees at your resistance.
You, my happiness, leave me with intense sadness.

We are not ready for each other.
But my dear, I am wholly yours.
Come take me when that line vanishes.
