Even if I can only live for one day

Even if I can only live for one day
Do you know how much I miss you and how much my heart aches
I miss you so much, through the ravages of the passage of time
My tired footsteps bring me to your side, unknowingly
Even though I know there’s nothing I can do for you.
“I love you” – words I keep shouting in my heart
“I love you” – words I can only whisper behind your back
“I love you” – words that I can’t speak for fear they will disappear
I love you so much it scares me
Like the galaxy of stars in the night
Within my sight but out of my reach and touch
Watching over you is my duty
Waiting every day till it becomes an obsession
Expectations of you rising above my height
“I love you” – words I keep shouting in my heart
“I love you” – words I can only whisper behind your back
“I love you” – words that I can’t speak for fear they will disappear
I love you so much it scares me
I have to confess my love for you today
Even if I can only live for one day
Now I’m going to confess, I’m going to say “I love you”
