Why Is Love So Hard

This is so hard
I'm afraid to say it
The truth is
I love you

It seems like forever
that I've wanted you
needed you
always to be with you

It wasn't love at first sight
but now I can see
that without you
my life is lonely

My heart could be yours
All I want is you
but the signals you send
Leave me unsure

I wish you were mine
if I can't be
then that's fine
No wait - that's not true

You will never believe
how hard I tried
to forget the attraction
and my quest for your attention

You may not know it
but my heart you hold it
Be gentle with it - leave it intact
or please, oh please, give it back
