Unrequited Love

I control my lungs,
But you can change my breathing.
My heart works on its own,
But you can speed its beating.
My lips have many uses,
Kissing yours is just a plus.
I’ve laid mine eyes on finer things,
Still you're the one i’m dreaming of.
In good and bad I've risked my heart,
Often offered love that's true.
I’ve been in love a dozen times,
And now's my time for lovin’ you.
I’ve shed my tears, I’ve shown my smile,
Been through my share of ups and downs.
And still I’ve never loved this way,
Until the day you came around.
I don’t expect your heart to match,
My love in time or depth.
I know you don’t feel me deep,
My name won’t grace your dying breath.
Instead, i wish for you to know,
That when it comes down to it.
You've earned the right to hold my heart,
I hope you don’t abuse it.
