Unrequited Love
I wish I had some magical dust to sprinkle in your eyes
So you can see who I really am rather than my masked disguise
By the wave a wand or the chant of a spell to turn your attention to me
Instead of all those “pretty” girls who will never let you be
I would say the spell so sweetly to make me your desired one
Though as nothing lasts forever the spell falls just like the sun
Again the words I wished and longed for vanish with the day
And the dream of being with you suddenly fades away
The love I wished for is gone along with all its wondrous desire
I feel like all I did for us was make a bigger fire
And though my love did make you grow, you turn away from me
To look at the one you really love when you know it will never be
Because we always want what we can’t have, and it continues on from there
Of all those lovers who stay unloved and the effects of love’s despair
While I’m close to going insane with wanting you, I know I must let go
Because loving someone who loves another is not the way to go
