My heart aches with a love that's true,
But my love for you, you can't pursue.
For in your heart, there's someone else,
Leaving my love upon a shelf.

I see you laugh, I see you smile,
With her by your side, mile after mile.
My love for you, a secret kept,
As I watch you with her, my heart wept.

I long to hold you, to call you mine,
But your heart belongs to another, not just for this time.
I wish I could make you see,
The love that's waiting here for thee.

But I can't force your heart to change,
Even though my love for you remains.
I'll silently cherish every moment we share,
Even though I know you don't really care.

I'll keep my love hidden, deep inside,
For it's better than losing you, I'll swallow my pride.
I'll smile and pretend, as my heart slowly breaks,
For the love I have for you, I can't seem to shake.

I'll love you from a distance, that's what I'll do,
For my love for you, it will always be true.
Even though you love someone else,
My heart will always be yours, and no one else's.
