I want to love you

I want to love you
but I don't know how
in my life
love has never been allowed
I dream and I hope
and I plan and I pray
but love never seems to
travel my way
still I keep living
day after day
I keep waking up in the morning

I want to love you
but where do I start?
my head is wanting 
control of my heart
I think and I think 
then I'm thinking some more
but love never stops
to knock on my door
leaving me lonely
and walking the floor
still I wake up in the morning
