If I told you how I really felt
would you want to know?
Do you already sense the agony I feel
how being away from you is like ripping out the hairs on my head one by one
If I told you that I love you
would you sigh and swoon and sweep me up in your arms
or would you smile sweetly and say, "oh?"
each time I see you the words almost fall from my lips
but I hold back, apprehensive and afraid
because the longer that you don't know
is more time I can spend hoping
that you'll feel the same
