Every little step you take,

Makes my heart start to shake.

Every time you look at me,

I can tell I'm all you see.

So why, oh why, did you leave this way,

Leaving my heart with so much to say?

You knew I would have told you,

If you had only seen it through.

Now my heart is burning,

So much room for yearning,

When you're not here,

I lose myself to fear.

A fear so strong, it makes me weep,

In the darkest hours, I cannot sleep.

I know that you would calm me, were you there,

But you're off doing who knows what, in who knows where.

I want to tell you, so very much,

How I want to see you, feel your touch.

You wouldn't let me say it then,

It's harder, even, to try again.

But for you, I would have kept the sky in a ball,

Just to show you that what I feel for you, ain't small at all.

I'd keep the stars in a dish,

And ask them for my biggest wish.

What you wouldn't let me say to you,

I'm going to say right now:

I love you, Inara Serra, I know you love me too.

And if you'd let me show you, I'd prove to you just how.
