Please

I want to make your lips

and your arms

and your heart

a reality --

please help me.

I would love you,

but only at your consent;

I'm a fool for you

but not a fool;

I want to live in your dreams and desires,

but I want it to be real

please, --

love me

If you won't, then tell me now

while I still have time to run and hide

Don't leave me guessing --

not when you know I feel this way.

It's been so long I've wanted you at my side

please, --

help me

I would give everything I could

to make you a reality;

don't walk away

for once, don't just walk away

please --

love me.
