Torn

I count down the minutes
To the Christmas holidays
So I can go home and text you
What I want to say

I spend a long time writing it
Trying to get it right
To find the right words to say
"I want you to hold me tight"

I want to love you and cherish you
And be more than friends
To think of you always
Until the very end.

I say to you in my message
Don't reply straight away
So if you say no
It won't spoil my holiday

A week I waited to go home
And to see that reply
And the answer you gave
Made me want to cry

You said "I want to concentrate on school
So that I do well"
But now I know that's because
You love another as well

Now my heart is torn
And will not mend
Until that joyous day
When your other love shall end
