As I lay here,
Protected in your arms,
I wonder,
Can you feel my heart
Pounding in my chest?
Can you feel the tension in my body
Subtly asking to be more than just friends?
Do you sense the longing every time we say goodbye
Begging for a kiss?
Every time I see you
All you do is make me want you more.

I know you’re not perfect
But neither am I.
All I want is to know that you love me
The way I love you.
I want to get close to you and hear your heart
Beat in rhythm with mine.
I want to know that it’s love,
For once, and not just lust.
I want to know you’re missing me
As much as I’m missing you.

I think all these things,
Lying here in your arms,
But I know they won’t come true.
You’re my best friend
and you love me too much to risk letting me go.
