Knowing

I know you,
but do you know me?
When I look at you
I want to tell you.
But, what would you say?
I know what I would say
I love you,
you know. 
When I see you
I want you to know
I need you to know.
But at what expense is that?
I guess no one will know
because just knowing
is enough to make
me painless,
free.

that is sweet, to know that you love someone and they don't even have to say a word, your love goes on. -Always&Forever Lynette
