Introspection...

Take your hand and place it on your heart;
You feel it beating ‘neath your palm.
You’ll never realize,
You aren’t the only one it’s beating for.

Yes,
It’s beating for the both of us.

These thoughts and feelings,
I know I can’t reveal: You always love another.
I’ll never tell you,
Or have I told you?
I never can keep up.

Would you,
Could you,
Feel the same?
And if not,
Am I to blame?

With all the things I’ve put you through,
I suppose it’s only natural.

Must I stay hiding in the shadows of my deception?
And maybe yours,
I’ll never know...

Besides, that’s too much to hope for.
