Analysis of Loving you from a far

Leanna Snippers 2007 (Mahaicony)



Loving you is all I can do,
when I look at you from afar;
hoping one day for you to acknowledge my love.

It pains me to see,
you with someone else by your side.
But what can I do,
than feel happy for you.
Because I am to scared of being rejected,
so I kept my mouth shut,
feel regretful for ever loving you.

When you look at me,
I can feel the love in the air.
But where is my courage to tell you,
I don't know.
If you know that I love you what would you do.

My friends called me a coward,
they tell me to confess,
but I am happy to look at you from a far.
Hoping one day that you would finally acknowledge my love for you.

Today I final gather the courage to say I love you
