Loving You From The Sidelines Poem by Danny D

For so long I have loved you secretly,
Been in love with you all these years so madly.
And you never even realised how about you I felt.
My love for you was so strong and heartfelt.
But all I could do was watch you from a distance
Standing in the sidelines I admired your elegance
Without your knowledge you I always adored.
Hiding everything inside is how you I deeply loved.
But now you know how about you I feel
Every part of me wants to scream of this love that I feel.
Every part of me wants to tell you how much you I love.
Every inch of me wants to hold you tight for you the gift from up above.

My eyes long to see you every minute of the day.
Everything else around me just fades away
When you are in the picture and my sight.
I could sit and watch you all day for you are such a delight.
My ears long to hear your voice everyday
Every other sound just seems to drown away;
When I hear your voice and every word you say.
I want to memorise so they ring in my ears everyday.
Every part of my body longs to just feel your touch
All of my senses stand still and focus on that one spot
When your hands touch me by chance.
And I wish your fingerprint never leave my skin.

My heart trembles and writhes in pain
Knowing that you don’t care or love me at all.
Every part of me shudders and breaks down.
Every time I watch you walk away from my presence.
My eyes hold back every dropp of tears.
Every time I look into your eyes and realise;
That I don’t mean anything to you anymore.
I can feel my strength fade away like a candle.
As you push me further and further away from you.
My heart has been ripped apart so many times
Knowing that you have pushed me to the sidelines
And others take up all your time and thought.

Loving you from the sidelines is painful, my baby.
But you will never see the pain on my face
You will never see the tears in my eyes.
I promise you will only see the brave smile.
As I try to push through each day loving you secretly.
Every moment you speak to me I see it as a privilege.
Every moment I get to see your face I see it as a gift
For I don’t know what tomorrow holds.
For you may never speak to me ever again.
A day is never complete without hearing your voice.
A silent prayer of thanks is what I say to the God above
After every precious moment I get with you.

Loving you from the sidelines is not what I want to do.
But then if that’s all what you will give me.
Then that’s what I will take.
Isn’t that what I signed up for;
When I promised to love you unconditionally?
Didn’t realise the pain would be so unbearable.
But I would gladly go thru any pain for you.
I wish you wouldn’t be so cruel and keep me in the sideline forever.
I am no casanova or a superstar.
I am no hero or a macho man.
But you know I love you more than anyone ever.
I hope in the power and miracle of love to bring you back to me.
