My Secret

No one knows the way that I feel
Not a single person knows my love is real
I can’t tell a soul the fantasies I dream
Or how I suddenly get impulses to scream
His wonderful name and my emotions for him
All else in my mind becomes dark and dim
For my desire to have him is so great
I know being together is our only fate
Yet he seems oblivious to my affectionate tries
To get him to notice me, to look into my eyes
I just wish to tell him, but I am afraid
Of being rejected, of feeling dismayed
He is far from my grasp, though so close at hand
I am a mere child; he is a person so grand
Despite my yearning, I must realize we will never be
For my secret love can be kept only to me
