Love's Silent Call

Why must my love for you stay buried in my heart,
like the seeds of flowers deep beneath the winter
snow,
everyday that we're apart.
Even with another, with you I want to be,
keeping my feelings silent so no one else will see.
With another is where we have to stay and not by choice,
I call you on the phone each day just to hear your voice.
The loving touch of your hands on my face,
like the leaves blowing on a soft autumn breeze,
in public our love is silent we can not show a trace.
Who knows what tomorrow holds, we'll have to wait
and see,
To be with you every day seems like a distant dream,
I hope to awake one day and find it to be reality.
