*for Robert...again

If you only knew how much it hurt me
To look at you and admire
And know I've found something special
And then to realize it could never be
I don't even know you
But I know that I could love you
If we weren't so many worlds apart

You - a dignified Englishman
I - a little Patriot
You - have lived
I - have just been born

There are more
The differences that lie between us
That wreck my brain
And hurt my tiny heart
So I'll tell myself
That I'll always have my dreams
But as much as dreams are beautiful
And have no bounds
They are nothing compared
To reality of my love for you
