I love you, but I won’t have you. I can’t have you Even if I wanted to. And I do, yet I don’t… Why is this so complicated And so confusing? You’ve met all the criteria on my list, You’re that ideal guy. And as other guys come along, I see myself comparing them to you. You’re my best friend I sometimes wish we could be more, But then I remember. I value what we have right now too much, To throw it all away for a few romance induced months. I haven’t had those feelings for a long time, Yet lately they perk up here and there. Not when you do anything unlike you, But that’s just it; You’re being you. That’s what I admire about you You say let’s just stay friends It hurts, but I know you’re right, Because deep down, I know it’s what I want too But hearing you say it still hurts. With you, I can see the long term When I’m with you, I feel safe I feel comfortable I feel like myself. And if I wasn’t so scared of losing you, I’d probably go for it. Though I’ll never say it to your face, I love you. I have, I will, I can’t stop, Even if I wanted to. But the thing is, I don’t want to stop.

I Love You, But...
I love you, but I won’t have you. I can’t have you Even if I wanted to. And I do, yet I don’t… Why is this so complicated And so confusing? You’ve met all the criteria on my list, You’re that ideal guy. And as other guys come along, I see myself comparing them to you. You’re my best friend I sometimes wish we could be more, But then I remember. I value what we have right now too much, To throw it all away for a few romance induced months. I haven’t had those feelings for a long time, Yet lately they perk up here and there. Not when you do anything unlike you, But that’s just it; You’re being you. That’s what I admire about you You say let’s just stay friends It hurts, but I know you’re right, Because deep down, I know it’s what I want too But hearing you say it still hurts. With you, I can see the long term When I’m with you, I feel safe I feel comfortable I feel like myself. And if I wasn’t so scared of losing you, I’d probably go for it. Though I’ll never say it to your face, I love you. I have, I will, I can’t stop, Even if I wanted to. But the thing is, I don’t want to stop.
