Unrequited

Listen to my words,
Hear them in your ears.
Let them fill you with hope,
Let them push away your fears.

Just let me hold you in my arms.
I'll keep you safe and warm.
We can stay like this forever...
I won't let us get torn.

I love you, that you know.
That's why we're in this dilemma.
You're meant for another,
And that's why you want to sever.

But you can't say it out loud.
That's why I whispered in your ears.
I know that you can't say them.
So I'll just let you hear.

The word you can't say,
Is simple enough for me.
But that's because I love you,
And I want you to be free.
