~How Long I Have Loved You~

Do you know how long I have loved you?
Do you know how long I have wanted to be yours?
How many times I kissed your lips in dreams?
How many times I wondered where you are?

I sometimes see you on the arm of another
And wonder if she appreciates you for who you are
How I wish it were me who were your lover
To share sweet words from more than just afar

This isn't just an infatuation
This love in my heart for you has lived for years
I know our souls are one together
And that we share the same hopes and fears

This is more than just a physical attraction
Though to make love to you would be a dream come true
But I also feel in mind and spirit we are one
And so I will keep on loving you

Even though to be together is not possible
As your obligations take you from my heart
I wanted you to know how much I love you
And that in spirit we will never be apart.
