Withheld

Tell me now,

Where do we stand?

Come with me,

And take my hand.

Tell me that our

Love is right.

I think about you

Day and night.

But I don't want

To hurt your heart.

These things inside

Tear me apart.

I know that it

Is only fair,

But I have secrets

I won't share.

I can't explain

What's going on.

I've felt this way

For all too long.

It's over now,

I have to go.

I cannot see

Your tears that flow.

In time you'll find

Your peaceful dove,

But I'm sorry.

I can't fall in love.
