I don't want to hurt you

by kathy

You say you love me
&& i want to say it back
but i can't.
you say you need me
&& i want to say it back
but i can't.
you say you trust me
&& i want to say it back
but i can't.
babe, i do love you.
babe, i do need you.
babe, i do trust you.
but not how you feel for me.
you are my friend,
one of my closest by far.
you mean so much to me
&& i love you so much more.
i don't want to hurt you,
not one bit.
but i can't say i love you like you love me
i can't lie to you...
being around you DOES make me smile
it makes me smile more then ever...
but it's not
THAT
smile...
not a romantic smile...
sure...i'd love to go out with you
but i don't think that will happen...
i love you with all my heart...
but all you are is a friend...
a great friend at that.
i broke your heart in 2
when i went out with him...
but you love me all the same.
just as i love you...
