DON'T SAY...

DON'T SAY

Don't say the words, 'I Love You'
they mean for better or for worse.
And if you cannot accept me-
Then that is just a curse.

Don't ever share your feelings,
if you cannot reciprocate.
Don't ever give your hand to me
in that you seal my fate.

Don't ever say your going to....
in that it gives me hope, but
You don't seem to understand
You don't comprehend the scope,

Of what it is I feel for you
Each day it became more
and now when it is most important
in my face you shut the door.

I admit to you, my love
the best I haven't been.
I suppose it scared me so
to fall in love, but then

When things got kinda crazy
I needed to talk and such
But I did the very thing I feared
I hurt you so very much

I never meant to cause you pain
I only want to love you
I am not very well-equipped
These feelings are so new

To have the feelings for you
that I just can't ignore
I admit I have f'd up
With you I want so much more

You say you can't go on
with me the way I've been
But I just cannot let go of you
I can only apologize again

I want you more than anything
than I've wanted for in years
I hope you find it in you
please see beyond my tears

You've given me more happiness
than I have ever known
please just give me 1 more chance
to give back the love you've shown

I've never wanted more in life
than to prove that I am different
you pointed out such things to me
a different perspective you have lent

I never realized how I was
or how awful I could be
I pray to God you give a chance
please give it just to me

I know you said that we were thru
friends still you wanted to be
but if I cannot have you,
then I will draw into me

I just now have prayed to God-
and asked he change your heart
and that HE give me help
to change and make a new start

I understand if you can't give
to me what I really need
I know that I have made you hurt
inside of you- you bleed

I cannot say another word
This is my confession
To you I gave my heart
You are my obsession.
