I sat around the house wanting nothing more than to be with you
Have your entire being in my arms
The longing is a scandalous one considering who we are
but it would be even more scandalous for me to care
I don't care often and I think you know that
This fact makes my feelings for you a miracle
I've never fallen for anyone else
and I probably never will love anyone but you
I just wish with all my heart that I could show it
as openly and honestly as I feel it in the darkest hours of the night
when no one can see my emotions spread over my face.
Like a lace cloth over a hideous table
my feeling for you make me beautiful
They cover the ugly inside of me
-- are maybe ugly themselves --
but they hide my true nature
and seem to prove that I am able to love
and long to be loved in return.
