I love this connection we’ve built,
Since we got to know each other more.
This complicity, this tenderness we find
When we come home from difficult days.
That hug, the silent promise
That we’ve got each other.

I won’t lie, you’ve become important to me.
And I won’t lie, I’ve liked this game,
The way we search for each other through touch.
But maybe it’s time to draw a line,
Before we confuse what all this means.

I’ve imagined what it would be like,
To be more than this with you.
But I’m not sure how I feel,
Not sure if I ever will be.
And the shift between yesterday and today
Has shown me I have no right
To ask for more than we’ve had.

I won’t lie, the thought crossed my mind.
But you deserve to explore what's new,
To figure out if he’s the one for you.
And I still want us to feel safe,
To keep this bond we’ve made intact.

It’s hard to write this, 'cause you mean so much.
And though I don’t know where my feelings end,
I think it’s best we stay where we feel safe.
But maybe, if one day the path is clear,
We can get lost together, no lines to draw.
