I Am

i am who i am
    not who you want to see

i am what i am
    not what you think i'd be

i am where i am
    not where you once placed me

i am when i am
    not when you wish of me

i am why i am
    not why you expect me

i am how i am
    not how you make of me

i am all i am
   – and all i am is me

Secret Admirer (Alt version)

i am Your secret Admirer
You don’t know me
but i try my best to find out all i can
about You
Your birthday, Your preferences, Your pet peeves

i'm Your secret Admirer
i steal glances at You
my heart beats furiously
whenever You are near

i'm Your secret Admirer
You never notice when we pass each other
along the corridors
but i, i count the times and carefully store each moment
in my memory

i am Your secret admirer
i am both our secret
oh
but how i long to tell You of my affections …

but

but if i told You, i wouldn’t be your secret admirer any longer
would i?
