I want to know
I want to know what it's like
For you to hold my hand
I want to know
What it's like when you genuinely smile
Or see you cry waterfalls
Or see your face covered in red
Or see your face
Scrunched up when you have a headache
But when you do
I wish I'm there to see it
I wish I could kiss it
I wish I could kiss your headache away
I wish I could taste the salty tears
Running down your cheeks
while I kiss them
I wish I could make your face redder
I wish I could kiss your nose
while you smile
I wish I could kiss your hand
While its held
I wish I could kiss you all over
Without care
But I can't
Because you'll never love me

So

I'll continue to be your friend
Even though I wish I could be more
But for now
I'll keep myself under a cast
Of pretend happiness
Just so I can stay with you
So I can take care of you
I wish to do more
But I'm merely a friend of yours
