How can one
have the power to do what so few could?
to make me succumb
to give love to someone who never would.

How can you have this power over me
to make me feel things I thought were dead inside?
Knowing that with you I will never be
And within myself I will continue to hide.

You want to hear whats on my mind
and the feelings run rampant in my soul
but the words to tell you, I just cant find
My mouth is but a soundless hole.

I know you dont reciprocate
the way i feel for you
But I dont think you appreciate
anything I do for you.

You tell me I should know the truth
of my importance in your world
but then you twist and turn it all with no proof
reminding me that i am but a silly girl.

How can I stop a feeling I tried never to know
Just to keep this friendship alive
Always hiding what I want
Living a constant lie

You know the truth as I do
But why rub it in your face?
A glutton for punishment, I guess
One day i wont love you
Ill move on to a happy place
You have the ability to be the best

I know you have the power to love me
but fear turns you aside
You have potential for greatness indeed
but you continue to hide

I wont force you or push you to stay
but remember that if I go, I will still be with you
My friendship and love won't go away
even if leaving is something i must do.
