Love Him

I am living in the midst of a chess game
just a pawn trying to conquer the King whom I love
he is surrounded by his knights and his bishops and his queen
I'm trying to reach him
He sees the love in my eyes
I see his suspicions and he hides
he is doing what he thinks is right
I wonder if I could just slip away for a night
and love him gently
and love him gently
and love him softly
and love him softly
I'm in love with the King
I'm trying to reach him
I'm a fool to love him
I'm a fool to love him
but it's something strong
something special
he is my love
but he's not my love
