I've been caught in the tangled mystery of a heart
that beats blood through my body
and never fails to flutter when you smile
I close my eyes and see you before me
I hear you voice when you are not near
There is just something about you that kills
me inside just a little when you are near

Why do you have to be the you that you are
always taking me by surprise
when you touch my hand I feel alive and
so valued and prized
I can't sleep for the thoughts that go racing
inside my head

I'm shedding tears because I am finding
I am only just a human being
just like all the rest
Nothing more or less
just a hunger inside me to have you near me
though you are fruit forbidden
