I'M Not Saying

I'm not sayin' that I love you!
I'm not sayin' that I care!
I'm not sayin' that I need you!
I'm not sayin' life ain't fair!

I'm not sayin' you're the one for me!
I'm not sayin' you're devine!
I'm not sayin' that I wish you knew!
I'm not sayin' please be mine!

I'm not sayin' that I'll tell you soon!
I'm not sayin' that I'm blue!
I'm not sayin' all these things are lies,
BECAUSE, SWEETHEART, THEY'RE TRUE!

Good as gold. He would agree. You wrapped it up real nice. I'm sure he'd say if he did see. He'd surely read it twice.
