I sit behind the crowd and watch your name in lights, Same classroom desk, but worlds apart at night. You smile for everyone, a star they all can see, I hold my breath and hide what you are to me. If I had the courage I would say it true, I would cross that line I never dare to move. On your birthday candles, every wish I drew, A million roses waiting quietly for you. Posters on the station, voices call your face, I walk home slowly, keeping time and space. You talk about your dreams with laughter light and free, I nod like just a friend, afraid you’ll notice me. You love red roses, soft and bright in bloom, I count them in my head like stars in June. I tell myself that love should know its place, Still my heart runs fast each time I see your face. You say my name once, gentle as a sign, I miss the hidden meaning every time. We stand so close, yet oceans in between, Two quiet wishes caught in the same scene. Someday we may laugh at all we never knew, How every step I took was leading you. Until that day I’ll keep this dream in view, A million roses, all my love, for you, A million roses, all my love, for you…,
