How can I?

How can I not think of You,
How can I not long for You.
It is you who makes my day, each day,
It is you who comforts me in endless ways.


I know you have been hiding from me for quite a while,
And you have been giving me just glimpses for all this while.
I know you are playing ‘hard to get’ more and more….
I don’t care, for I still long for you like before…


I dance to your tunes all day long,
The hours seem nothing, no season to belong.
I can’t help but think of you all night and day
Wish you would be mine, someday.


How can I not think of You,
How can I not long for You.
It is you who makes my day, each day,
It is you who comforts me in endless ways.


I know nothing if this dream would ever come true,
If someday, you would be mine, like the way I do.
But all I care for is my love for you,
That keeps me alive thinking of you!
