Loving You The Way I Do

You look at me, I look at you.
I think of thoughts I pray were true,
Dreams I wish you knew.

I look at you, you look at me.
You tell me words of how things will be.
Still my heart cannot accept this of thee.

How can I feel for you
The fire and passion that I do?
How can my emotions be so strong
And you tell me that it's wrong?
I've heard all the reasons and explanations.
Left with no doubt for my own interpretations.
So tell me why, I'm still asking why.
Though promise I won't, to forget I'll try.

That I cannot do.
Reason being the picture painted in my mind of you.
With lips as moist as the early morning dew.
Eyes as bright as the first star out at night.
And a smile so warm and perfect,
Capable of capturing a room that's dormant.

It's easy to understand why I Love you.
Afraid someday someone else will too.
As you Love them in return,
I'm left with my heart to burn.

Loving you the way I do,
Knowing you exist will have to do.
