I’m emotional

Don’t come near me

I’d crumble

With your touch

You mean well

You don’t know

You can’t see

What’s inside me

I love those moments

In your warm embrace

I can’t handle it now

I would cry inside

You smile at me

I wish you knew

I could really love you

If you’d let me

You make me laugh

Like you always do

And slowly I gain the strength

To hide the truth

From your lovely eyes

I let you hold me

And shake off the urge

Growing within me

To spit all out

And ask you to love me

Really love me

‘Cause I could love you

Differently than I do

But I won’t

I know I can’t

I’ll patiently wait

And let you love me

For now

In the only way

You seem to know how

I’ll remain your friend

With feelings untouched

Forever

If that’s the only way

I can keep you
