When you are mine

My heart keeps haunting me from day till dusk
Wondering why telling you my feelings seems to be a tedious task
Here you are right before my eyes,
Yet, it feels like we're on two different sides

Your beauty never went unnoticed
Although I often hid in my shell like a tortoise
How I wish I could hold you in my arms for a second,
And tell the world you are mine even if we were to pretend
Every minute I try to have a glimpse of your beauty from a distance
Watch you laugh out loud insanely to jokes,

When having a good time with your folks
All I kept praying for, was a chance to ask you for a dance,
So I could finally have the opportunity to take off my mask
But I wouldn't want to ruin this moment as we share in your excitement,

Of you finding joy with another man by stepping out of line,
Hence I'll hold on to this friendship till when you finally become mine
