I want nothing more than to love you;
Yet you are scared by the thought of that.
I wish I could show you
That there is nothing to be afraid of.
–
This is what human beings were meant to do
It’s the stuff we all are made of
And growing up is scary too
But there’s nothing to be afraid of
–
So just relax and allow me;
Loosen up and let it flow.
I promise I won’t hurt you
Because I love you, don’t you know?

–
I know how much you care for me
I see it in your eyes, your actions
I hear it in your words, your thoughts
That you want to give me nothing less
Than everything you have.
–
But I can’t accept it,
Since to accept would mean to reciprocate;
Or would it? Even if it didn’t,
How could I stand here and take it,
Always receiving, never giving.
That wouldn’t be love. For me.
–
But it would be for you. The truest kind, in fact.
To love someone else who doesn’t love you back
Is the truest kind of love, and that’s the kind I want
Both from you, and for another, that we just love
And not worry about the returns.
