Then friends are all we'll be

I pretend

that I am just friends.

I don't let you know that  my heart overflows with emotion

every time I talk on the phone.

I act like I have a tickle in my throat when I am really getting choked up.

I long for you to come to your senses.

I keep my deepest feelings in check,

for I suspect you may guess the truth

if I said what you really feel.

I consider myself lucky to have you in my life at all.

I think about you all the time,

and wonder what might have been if I were courageous enough to let go and tell the truth.

They say the truth will set me free.

My truth keeps me prisoner.

I love you so much and you have no idea,

Because fear holds me back.

Fear that my true feelings will drive you away.

So, I do the best I can

I relish the moments we do get, and allow your voice

to fill my heart until next time.

To feel your happiness, to see your smile to see you a life

You are yourself, you have the person that you love

I will set you free, not because I avoid you

But because that the way I love you

you said "Let's just be friends".

I replied "Then friends are all we'll be"
