It just takes a second
And you've popped back into my head
As if you never even left
It just takes one glimpse
One look at your photograph
And I'm awestruck with how beautiful you are
The image of you takes over
It's always been difficult to understand
The painful longing I have for you  
No, you're not mine
But when I lay my head down at night
That's when you enter my mind
That's when the fantasies begin to take form
When I am no longer in the present
But I'm transported to where
The back of my mind often lingers
A place where you surrender yourself to me
Mind, body, and soul
And my one purpose
Is to make you feel happiness and pleasure
With every breath you take
And every move you make
It's a misfortune
It's a tragedy
How you'll probably never be the one for me
And how I'll most likely never in my life
Get to relish in the fact that I hold the key to your happiness
I believe that I'll forever feel this dissatisfaction
This sickness
There is no cure
If I can't have you
