I love you
Your gentle touch
Your nervous giggle
You caring smile
I love you
But I'm not in love
My hand clenches around my heart
Constricting its beating
Forcing it to step in time to the wrong dance
I'm slicing m own soul apart with this quandary
But the knife is so sharp I hardly notice it
I only think of your face
What you will do when I tell you
I love you
But I'm not in love
The hurt pouring from your eyes
Like blood from a wound
Not windows, but floodgates to the soul unable to close
As your eyes furrow
And mouth turns, open in surprise
Glasses a shield for me
Or you, I can't tell
I love you
But I'm not in love
