You make me smile
You make me laugh
You are a person that I wish now I was with
I wish I could hold you not how I do now but in a tender, loving and caring way
I wish I could just come right out and say I LOVE YOU
I pushed you away before and I regret that because now I realise the beautiful person I lost will probably never love me in the same way I love you
You are smart and funny and you make me feel like I am a princess
To kiss those soft beautiful lips, to hug you I would but I can’t I suppose I will have to settle as your friend which brakes my heart
I know you care about me but not in that way and I know you’d be there for me when times get tough
But I realise what a stupid person I was to let you go
There is something I need to say to you and that is I LOVE YOU
