Perhaps one day

My burden is my love for you
And of everything you do
And the hope that perhaps one day
You might love me too.

I’ve loved you from afar my dear
And watched you with great fear
Thinking that perhaps one day
You will be right here.

I’m captured by your fair smile
So pure and devoid of guile
Dreaming that perhaps one day
You'll smile at me awhile.

You fill my thoughts and my mind
Taking pain from the daily grind
Praying that perhaps one day
Love for me you'll find.

Until that day you'll be a part
Of all my life's work and art
Knowing that every day
You will fill my heart.
