Unrequited Love in Autumn

The leaves are turning a crimson hue But my heart stands still longing for you A shadow fading unseen unknown I know I'm not the one you've chosen Your light shines bright a beacon clear While I'm left here lost in fear These glasses shield my aching heart Hiding the pain that tears us apart Am I too plain or just too lost? Is loving you a heavy cost? I watch you move a graceful sight A distant star out of my sight I love you like the autumn skies So vast and deep a sweet surprise But all I see are your goodbyes As leaves descend my spirit dies Am I too much or too little? Perhaps you don't see me at all Tomorrow too I'll watch you fade A solitary soul in endless shade I've learned my place a humble one A brittle branch beneath the sun I yearn to be the warmth you crave But I'm just cold a lonely wave I wait and hope though I know well Your heart belongs where I can't dwell I love you like the autumn skies So vast and deep a sweet surprise But all I see are your goodbyes As leaves descend my spirit dies Am I too much or too little? Perhaps you don't see me at all Tomorrow too I'll watch you fade A solitary soul in endless shade The leaves keep falling just like me Caught in the wind wild and free I let you be though it hurts my soul As autumn's beauty takes its toll
