just being a friend


you must know i love you
my hidden signals must clear
but your silence is bewildering
that’s your answer I fear

i gave you my heart some time ago
wanting yours in return
but i can’t fathom your rejection
it’s a lesson i can’t afford to learn

when will you see you love me
when will my wandering end
you’ll run to my arms and I can stop
just being a friend

i was doing just fine tonight
till you walked through the door
now i find it hard to concentrate
as you stroll across the floor

well i steal quick glances across the room
you notice and my heart explodes
i say, “Hello” and “How are you”
but what i really want to know
