I told myself I'd never
Think of you any more
Yet there you stand in front of me
And it tears me to the core
It tears me up inside because
I’m not supposed to feel this way
The things I feel when I see your face
No Vulcan man would ever say
I make myself appear impassive
But it simply isn’t true
No matter how convincing my façade
My heart is on fire for you
I have to avoid looking at your face
That warm glow is too sweet to behold
You’re gazing at me with pure love in your eyes
And it brings back fond memories of old
The solitude of the turbolift beckons
But just as I'm stepping inside
You call out my name and say "welcome aboard!"
The ache in my heart isn’t easy to hide
How long can I keep on pretending
I’m not secretly longing for you
When somewhere inside I know
That the opposite really is true
