Is it wrong for me to love you
Knowing so little about your life?
Maybe I'm just being foolish
For putting my heart through all this strife.

What I feel could not be mistaken
For lust or infatuation;
What I feel for you seems real,
And it brightens up every dull situation.

What if nothing ever comes of us?
And I never get to tell you how I feel?
What if I keep it all inside?
And I never get to know if my feelings are real?

All I know is every time I think of you
I want to open up my heart,
For some reason I'm afraid
That nothing will ever start.

If I let you know how I feel
I don't want to look stupid
And see the look on your face
Asking me why I did what I did.

How I want so much to hold you
And feel your arms around me
Telling me you feel the same
And together we could truly be.

I look into your sparkling eyes
And smile back at you
As we are about to kiss, the dream ends
I realize it's not true.

You could never feel that way for me
You could never look at me that way.
So before I go to bed at night
I kneel down and pray.

For a chance to get to know you
As a friend and hopefully more
As I grow to love you day by day
These dreams don't suffice like before.

I need more than dreams
I need you.
And I need to feel happy
I need this love to be true…

I think we've all been in this plkace at one time or another.It's hard to choose which way to go.Always remember though to your heart be true and if they don't reciprocate than you're love is worthy of someone else.Nicely done.

In the beginning...there was friendship...if you have that there are stones to build upon...who knows where it will go from there...James
