Just Friends

I act like all I feel for you is friendship,
yet there's so much more.
In fear of losing you I leave my emotions locked behind
an unstable door.

I can feel it pull,
I can feel it pry...
Because all my heart wants is to say
is what it's feeling deep down inside.

The mask of emotions I wear is running kinda thin,
when will our friendship end and relationship begin?

Rejection is what I fear,
"I'm sorry I just like you as a friend" is what I knowI shall hear.
And that kind of sorrow I cannot bear.
So for now my true feelings you will not hear.
