How Do I

How do I tell you I feel
without sounding foolish?

Not meaning to make you
feel uncomfortable but to
hope you understand.

You see I've never been
one to hold back my
feelings or my love.

I've alvays felt that if you
love someone it's important
they know.

There have been times, I
wished I had that chance to
say it one more time.

I know that in their heart
they knew but, I needed to
make sure.

I don't feel complete when
I'm not with you. Silly I know.

How do I explain it? It's like
a part of me is missing. A
very important part.

I really don't know what
you want of me, of us, if at all.

Do you want me as a friend
or more? Loving you this
much is so hard to be just a friend.

But, if that is all I can have,
I guess I would rather have
a little of you, than nothing.

I have had nothing in my
life for so long. Finding you
gave me so much warmth
and hope.

How do I tell you that I
understand that you have
so much pulling at you?

There are times I  feel I am
in the way or a bother but,
I can't let go.

I feel ther is hope. I cling
to every word you say for
some hint of you wanting
me and you let me know.

How do I help you to
understand the love I have
for you is a love that will
never betray or hurt you?

How do I even begin to
think of being without you?
It tears me apart.

But, I must face that reality.
I must face that the love I
have for you might not be
what you want.

How do I live if you should
tell me to go? How do I walk
away without you?
