I wish to love
I wish to feel
I wish to keep someone close to me
Close to my heart
I wish to love someone
I wish to cherish them
I wish to always keep them safe
And always warm them
And keep them happy
But I cannot
For when I believe that there may be something
I may be wrong and embarrass myself
For they may not have the same feelings I hold
For they may not think of me in the same way
For they may not desire to hold me close to them
As I wish to
Why do I not love?
Because love hurts
And I've been hurt far too much

I wish to love
I wish to feel
I wish to keep someone close to me
Close to my heart
I wish to love someone
I wish to cherish them
I wish to always keep them safe
And always warm them
And keep them happy
But I cannot
For when I believe that there may be something
I may be wrong and embarrass myself
For they may not have the same feelings I hold
For they may not think of me in the same way
For they may not desire to hold me close to them
As I wish to
Why do I not love?
Because love hurts
And I've been hurt far too much
