I smile at you and you smile back.

I have loved you for ages but never had the COURAGE to ask you out.

I'm with you every day 'cause I love you, but you don't seem to notice.

I leave you alone for ONE day.

When I'm back I see my love, the only girl I have liked,

Being kissed by another man.

He's clueless just like you, neither of you knowing I love you,

'Cause I have no COURAGE.

Now I'm beating myself up, waiting for the day,

That you can be mine.

I wait, I watch, and I realize first I must learn.

I must learn to be someone you can love, love just as I love you.

And I train myself, I begin cleaning, drinking less,

And make myself someone you can love.

I wait, when he mistreats you, I protect you.

And soon I see you break up with him.

I help you heal your emotional scars.

And soon I see you falling into my arms.

I pull you close and vow to always protect you.

Finally after long last I see my vow,

With a kiss,

I found my COURAGE.

Now you love me as I do you.
