Forever Loving You

You think that you know me
We are friends that is true
But do you also know
That I am deeply in love with you

My feelings are at bay
But for you I'd surrender
I feel that I have loved you
For as long as I can remember

My heart beats faster
The closer you are to me
And I melt into your eyes
The color of the sea

My face turns scarlet
At the sight of your smile
And it erases my pain
If only for a while

Sometimes you think
That I'm harder than stone
But I'm afraid you'll see me tremble
When your hand brushes my own

You know so much about me
And you think that I'm strong
But don't you see my knees are shaking
When I glance at you too long

I want to reach out
And take you in these arms of mine
But I get scared you will think
I have stepped out of line

I want you in more ways
Than just in friendship
I want to hold you, touch you
And taste your sweet lips

I am not afraid to die-oh, no
And you have always known this
But did you know that you
Could kill me with just one kiss

But if we shared a night together
That would mean you love me too
And I'd die a happy woman
With all of my heart, forever loving you
