I want to extend my heart.

Show you what you mean to me, and that I love you.

At least, I think in my heart that I love you...

My head and my heart are switching places as I speak, as I write,

My brain goes all fuzzy and I feel safe in your arms, my dear.

I don't know what to say to you, is this love? I don't know

I don't feel like myself without you around. Without you, my moon,

The sun doesn't feel as bright and warm, I don't know what to say or do to get that through to you.

But I'm stopped, because I respect the feelings, or lack thereof, that you know

I don't want to change you and my heart sobs

I scream out in uncertain pain and a thorny rose stabs through my heart. "Just friends." I whisper to ground myself. "Just friends." he tells me back, and the things I tell those around me. "Just friends." I repeat again, shaking my head gently. "Just that and nothing more." But the heart screams that it hurts.

I hate the way my heart won't stop and it hurts.
