Love is supposed to be something beautiful and good
So why must I feel so awful about my feelings for you?
By my beliefs it is forbidden
And I want to stay true to them
But I can see us together
Can see us holding hands
And sharing space
And falling asleep on each other’s shoulders

You would probably be with me, if I asked you
You have already said that you trust me
And we have spent so much time together
Our friend thinks I have a chance

I feel like I’m in too deep
I love spending time with you, and I always have
We’re best friends
I should be happy with that
And I am, in a way
I know you care and I am so grateful for that
I’m so grateful for you

I know it will probably never happen
For a number of reasons, really
Not just my faith

You have been hurt
She cheated on you
You loved her so much
And she has set fear in you
That others will do the same

I have been hurt
He didn’t love me back
And he hurt me so much
You’ve helped me get past that
You have shown me what a true friend is

I have also been hurt
By a marriage that fell apart
So we are both scared
Of relationships being ruined

So many times I have looked at you
And have felt nothing but love
And a desire for closeness
I’m still confused about what it is
Platonic?
Romantic?
Am I straight?
Or not?

What will I do about this?
Probably nothing
I’m too scared to
For a number of reasons
I just hope
That our friendship can last
And that I can be fine with that
And that you won’t find out
And that I can find someone who I can love
Without feeling this guilt

I will always love you, though
