So, you’ve just told me that you love me,
And it would be forever, without fail,
But I’m hoping that you realize
Life is not a fairytale.
I know you would be faithful,
And I know you would be kind,
And you’d try your best to be the one
That I’ve waited so long to find,
But the truth is harsh, so I’ll tell you, now,
Without any pause or lie
That love WAS made for lovers,
But never you and I.
I could love you as a person,
And as a friend, I’d hold you dear,
But I’d never let you hold me.
I know this all will seem quite clear
When I remind you that I never gave you
Hints that I should feel the same,
So I beg you don’t feel slighted
When I don’t whisper your name.
My life is taking me places
That I never thought I’d be,
And I just can’t have distractions,
And I hope that you will see
That I say this not to be cruel,
But to plainly show you how
I could love you when it suits me,
But that time is not right now.
I shall not be too offended
If you decide to walk away,
For I know there’s nothing sadder
Than a love that doesn’t stay
To warm you through the winter months,
But be that as it may,
My love for you is like a dream
That shall fade at break of day.
