585. I Care Not

I care not that my feelings are so unsightly
Feigned indifference not possible when you’re near
Discretion demands that behavior is done that way
Yet that I desire you is what I mean to make clear
You’ve taken my heart and my breath does follow
My senses and thoughts belong to only you
While good taste dictates that I behave so differently
They’d think otherwise if of my feelings they only knew
A star struck fan is something that I am not
I’d prefer to be thought of as the one you’re seeking
Restraining orders and laws that now haunt me
Cannot prevent me from needing the joy you bring
If only you’d give me a simple smile or an acknowledgement
That you know I’m out here is all I really need
Fans will come and go but I will remain your steady
To have you in my life would be most welcome indeed
Alas I’ll spend my time looking into your windows
My cameras will click away for the chance to see
Until I’m caught and they force me to seek counseling
I’ll remain close and near to you at every opportunity
