• A secret love I cannot share
    Even with the one I love
    To be wracked with the torment
    Of the truth untold hidden inside
    Trying to escape
    But with every attempt subdued

    When I see her I smile and wave
    This of my true feelings I will allow
    Controlled emotion is the way
    To ease the suffering inside
    I suspect she is knowledgeable of my affection
    But no clear sign does she leave
    Of acknowledging it

    The years have passed quickly hence
    No other young woman has completely stolen my glance
    Always the hidden seed of a potential life with her
    Secreted within my heart
    Through times of doubt and loneliness
    The burning flame of my desire may wax and wane
    But never truly be extinguished
    I wait for her with open arms if should she accept them

    I have no sustence to which I may lay claim
    No transportation of my own
    Nor job to sustain it
    Though young love it may be
    If even love at all
    I have not much to give in this physical realm
    But the mental realm is another matter

    Even when I am not with her
    I hope for her health and wish her best
    Peace of mind and physical stature
    A secure job and learning applications
    For her conscious to keep her strong
    Against the forces of evil in this world
    And for her heart to keep her warm
    Even on the blusteriest day

    When I see her with another man
    My heart at first doth ache
    But years of restraint kick in
    A jealous smile I flash at her
    Envious of the affection the other individual may receive
    And wonder what would happen were we to join together
    As a team
    Depressing times are soon at hand when I think of her with another man
    But then I think
    Not of my selfish desires
    But for the good of her
    Her state of mind
    I then say to myself
    “Whatever is best for her”
    And it is true
    I do wish she was mine
    But if another does she find
    The best of luck I wish them
    For he had better take care of her

    There is one condition that must be met however
    Before I open the gates of my heart open wide
    Her honor must be pure
    No exceptions
    Already she has been in the company of other men
    But to what extent I do not know
    For my sake I hope she is pure
    If not, then friend of mine for possible romantic applications
    She will be no more
    For if she was not pure
    If it is true
    When I see her she would always see a sad look in my eye
    Something has died within me
    Never to return to life

    Wherever she may be
    She will be in my heart
    Her smiling face and love of the arts
    Her dancing and laughter
    Her joyous soul
    Bringing life to others around her
    Inspiring the world with her deeds
    A woman of worth to not be taken lightly
    A wonderful wife to the final man that claims her
    The Queen of Hearts
