Love In the West Wing

Danny loves CJ
he'll tell her
in as many ways he can

he'll ask her out
he'll twist her arm
and be as sweet as pie

he'll be quite charming
the loyal friend who 
won’t betray her trust

Danny will do much more 
while knowing full well 
they can't go on a date

it won’t happen
and Danny knows 
all the reasons why  

yet he'll keep asking
and that is part
of Danny’s charm

so CJ and Danny have
in fact tasted the fruit of 
the forbidden relationship

it’s just not how Danny would like
it’s not consumed yet in the open
it’s there beyond his grasp

he talks, they flirt
but she won’t budge
she smiles under her tough façade

he gets to tell his flame 
bits of what he feels and hopes 
she’ll never fall for any other guy

there will come a day 
when things will be different
nothing lasts forever

that’s when finally nothing 
will stand in their way
and true love need prevail
