don`t turn away

i see kindness, compassion

your eyes smile at me

but is it us, or is it just me?

how do you feel?

you never say.

so when i look at you, if i look too long, i have to turn away.

from across the room i catch you looking at me

why do we both turn away?

why do we both stop and switch our gaze?

i am right. you were looking at me.

are you afraid of what i might say?

are you lonely these days?

don`t turn away.
 
 

what are your thoughts and feelings at this moment?

why not just stop and stare at me?

i`m sure you want to really.

why not show you care?

you almost do sometimes. well, very nearly.

still, just to see you brightens up my day

so don`t turn away.
 
 

i wish i knew how you were feeling

i wish i knew with what i was dealing

the looks you give me make me wonder

the way you speak to me too

you have beautiful eyes. i didn`t mean their colour

they shine like stars. i love your smile too.

i`m not trying to make you say anything you don`t want to

i wouldn`t want to push or hurt you

i`m usually quite patient.

but if only i knew.

anyway, don`t let these words worry you.

just remember, i`ll be there if you need someone to turn to

i`ll be your friend night or day

so please, next time,

don`t turn away.

never in love

never in love when the time is right

always too late to catch love right

only you could be this way

my one true friend, i hope you`ll stay

i wish i knew what to do or say
 
 

when you need me i`ll always be here

although it may be hard i fear

trusting someone you know and love

trusting someone you can`t have

silently hiding the pain you have

...i know, i`ve been there.

just to be with you

just to be with you means so much to me

what wouldn`t i do to be with you constantly

but you don`t even know how i feel

it`s hard to believe these feelings are real

i try not to show as i look at you longingly

you wouldn`t believe just what you mean to me

sometimes i dream of holding you next to me

imagine the feeling, you holding me tenderly

but such thoughts as these are mere dreams

i dream the impossible or so it seems

to feel from you that loving touch

still, just to be with you means so much

yet sometimes i wonder, the way that you smile at me

could it be possible you think of me tenderly

or do i delude myself. yes, i think probably

what could you possibly want with me?
