Would you want me to stop

saying love?

Would you want me to cease saying

what I feel for you?

I could show you,

but you won't let me near.

So what can I do to make you see

what you mean to me?

You're more than just a friend to me

and you're not my indescreet lover.

I can't say what you are

You mean so much to me.

You're the one that makes me happy

When I'm away I feel lonely

But love seems to be the best word to describe it

And I really don't understand it

But I really wish I could know

So I could tell you

But I stand in the dark, like you

And we'll just have to bear it out

together.
