if you knew

september.17.2001

I know just what you're thinking,
and you don't know what to say.
You don't know how to say it,
but you tell me anyway.

You say you need your time,
but I know what you mean.
You say you have been hurt,
more than I have ever seen.

If you know the pain I feel,
each time I hear your voice.
You'd never question me,
you wouldn't have a choice.

I can't help but love you,
I've never had to try.
But each time that you turn away,
Inside I want to die.

Just know one more thing,
before I break in two.
All I ever wanted,
was to know that I loved you.
