Do You...?

Do you ever think of me?
Occasionally or at all?
Or am I just a memory,
That you don't recall?

Our meetings are so rare
And I don't know you well
But if you'd like to listen
Some things I'd like to tell

I like to see you smile
It brightens up my year
If only for the fact
That it means that you are near

If you are upset
It's as much as I can bear
I want to hold you close
And tell you that I care

I'd like to make you happy
If only for an hour
But I cannot do it
Although it's in my power

I'm worried if I ask
You'll laugh and turn away
So I just do nothing
For yet another day

If I get the courage
And ask you for a meal
Realise what I go through
To tell you how I feel

Don't dismiss me lightly
Before you just say no
Who knows what may come of it
If you don't answer so

Maybe I'll be interesting
Witty, smart, urbane
More likely I'll be funny
To cover up the pain

So if I ever find the words
I think I need to say
Please listen very carefully
Before I go away

I need to make the first move
But I just don't know how
I sit and think and wonder
About what you're doing now

Maybe I should just face the facts
We're never meant to be
So many things to overcome
And the biggest one is me
