i want to hold you close,
but for now i must pretend,
that you don't love me,
and you're only a friend.

when we're talking,
i want to lean near,
and tell you three words,
that you need to hear.

for now i hide my feelings,
and act like nothing's wrong,
but in fact i'm not very sure,
if i can last very long.

i may have to move on,
and give up my hope,
of getting you back,
because i must cope.
