Please tell me
Say it to my ears
Speak it that i may hear
Don’t keep the words away from me
I promise you the your words i will bare
Your silence is driving me crazy
I just can hold to it
For a precious stone you are to me
Its a feeling i can’t describe
Ever since i saw you
Butterflies flutter their wings inside my stomach
Leaving me craving for your voice
Why do i care for you so much
Is it love or just friendship
And why are you mad at me
Is it hatred or enmity
Am jealous over you seeing someone
And your cold fingers touching someone else gives me fear
Just say a word
Your silence is driving me crazy
If this is love
Please speak just a word
Lets supplement each other
By my heart lets sharpen our flesh
Even when we bleed
Lets discover something new
If this is friendship
Come and take a vacation with me
Lets build our friendship ties
Lets not wait for so long
Come we discover something new
If its hatred and enmity
Please come that i may die
Die in your precious arms
That my dreams may be fulfilled
That in your arms i will always sleep never to wake up
