Someday, She'Ll Know
Will they ever find a cure for what ails me?
Deep down in my heart I know the answer is no.
It’s nothing debilitating…at least not physically.
I hide it pretty well so that others won’t know.
I’ve tried to keep it from even my closest friends,
But I sense that they’re able to see that I’ve changed.
I don’t want them to worry about what’s around the bend.
Either they know what’s wrong, or they just think I’m deranged.
There’s only one person in the world I can blame
For what has happened to me over this past year.
Once I confront her, things will never be the same,
But she has to know, regardless of my fear.
I hope the news of what I have won’t devastate her.
She’s been a very close friend for most of my life.
For what’s been ailing me is my undying love for her.
I would like to someday soon ask her to be my wife.
