Hold me in your arms and look deep into my eyes,
Let me see into your soul.
Feel the fires of passion and life
Burn beneath the surface.
Three little words that I can not say
Lest my world fall apart.
Your eyes plead with me to return them,
To give them back to you like a cherished gift.
But I can not.
Letting those words slip from my lips,
Is like loosing a part of myself.
Every person I have ever loved
Is lost to me in a sea of death.
Because I do love you;
Deep within my soul
I can not tell you aloud.
I am afraid that if I do I will loose you as well.
