I Won't Say I Am in Love


I won't say I'm in love.

I like your hair,

I won't say I'm in love.

I like how you don't want to catch my eyes,

I won't say I'm in love.

I like the feel and the look of your hands, 

I won't say I'm in love.

I like your skin colour, so warm and brown,

I won't say I'm in love.

I like the sound of your voice,

I won't say I'm in love.

I like how you allow me so close, 

I won't say I'm in love.

I think you know there is the slightest chance I like you, 

But I won't say I'm in love.

Would you?

No. Because I told you to say no to your own feelings.

So I won't say I am in love.

I can't be.

I just can't.
