I wish, But...

I wish I can tell you that I do
but I;m afraid that you wouldn't feel the same way
each time I look at you
you seem to turn away

I wish we can be more than just friends
but I'm afraid you'd say no
and that would be the end
so I'll have to let this go

I wish you'd notice me
and be by my side
but how can that be
when you're by someone else's side
but I still wish that,
you'll hold my hand with pride
