Longing

are you afraid of love or are you just afraid of my love? please do not be frightened my love will not choke or bind you in any way it will bring you warm when you are cold and companionship when you are lonely my love will bring smiles to brighten all your days inter and understanding when you are sad inter I will not obligate you to come to see me everyday or to call me every night inter my love will give you all these things asking only that wherever you go and whatever you do you will hold me in your heart knowing that when you return I will be here only to make you happy I'm not begging you to love me I'm not really even asking you to but isn't it alright if I cherish that hope in my heart if I dream of just holding your hand it will hurt me not you I will try to keep my eyes from shining when I see you and I promise I will try not to smile a special smile when you say hello but please don't ask me not to love you for that is something I cannot do
