I cannot help but stare
I avert my eyes
I focus on meaningless distractions
But I cannot help but stare.
Your beauty is unavoidable
Your charm is forced upon me
I try to treat you as I treat all others
But I cannot help but stare.
Your smile is my oxygen
Your touch is my aphrodisiac
Your spoken word is my angel's song
Still, I cannot help but stare.
If only the promise of a single kiss was real
If only you returned the way I feel
If only your forbidden fruit could be unpealed
No...never to be mine...
And still, I can't help but stare.
