Simple crush

A simple crush it must be
how else could I be feeling this way

I was afraid to say how I felt,
I was scared she'd turn me down,
sweet words made me melt
like chocolate in my hot hands

I was shy to approach her,
I was terrified at the thought to lose her,
and I was hesitant to hold her.
since the day I fell for her

later we became best friends for years
since then we got much closer
shared our happiness, our dreams, our tears
I really love her

I thought it was only a simple crush,
it'll go away someday
but years went by and this crush..
isn't going away

I've fallen for my best friend
but if it didn't work out
I don't want our relationship to end

once you take off the cloak of friendship
you can't go back under it

I was afraid to say how I felt,
I was scared she'd turn me down,
sweet words made me melt
like milk chocolate in my hot hands

I was shy to approach her,
I was terrified at the thought to lose her,
and I was hesitant to hold her.
since the day I fell for her

I don't know what to do anymore
what I thought was a simple crush
grew into something more
I just wish I could show her how much
