I look at you
And I know that we are bound
I care for you
In my mind you're all around

And the days I spend with you are never long enough
I cannot live without you but I don't think it is love

It's just
That I feel happier when you're here
And I feel safe when you are near
and both of us know
Our friendship won't grow
By saying 'I love you'

I dance with you
And the sun dispels the rain
I talk to you
And you take away my pain
But when I realize you won't be single endlessly
I somehow fear that we'll be torn apart by jaleousy

But it's just
That I feel happier when you're here
And I feel safe when you are near
and both of us know
Our friendship won't grow
By saying 'I love you'

But, in a way, I do
close
