I met you not to long ago
In my class at school
Instead of saying how I feel
I'm acting like a fool

I don't know how to say this
I can't seem to find the words
But, I have to say I love you
Even though it sounds absurd

I only wish you felt the same
Though I know you don't
I wish that you'd go out with me
Though I know you won't

Every time I see your face
I have to give a smile
I pretend to like you as a friend
But long to hold you, all the while

I should not have said this
But, I had to let you know
I don't want to hurt our friendship
I just want to let it grow

Maybe you won't talk to me
Maybe you won't care
But I just had to let you know
I wish that you'd be there

I don't know why I'm telling you
But, all of this is true
The way I really feel inside
Is that I'm crazy for you
