Bridge

What if I want more?

What if I want more?

I know that you like me

But what if I want more

Will you turn and run away

Closing every door

Or would you stand there laughing

Asking, “Are you totally insane?”

Would you shake your head and tell me

“This is just a game”

Or would tears fill your eyes

As I hold you tight to me

Would you whisper, “I love you”

“This is exactly what I wanted, to be”

Or would there simply be nothing

Just a silence that never ends

Until a kiss on the cheek tells me

I will be nothing more than a friend
