If I was to say I love you,

Would you shrug it off?

Would you say it back to me?

Or would you simply scoff?

If I was to say I love you,

Would you laugh and hold me tight?

Would you turn your back?

Or would you say that it's alright?

If I was to say I love you,

Would you never let me go?

Would you kiss me sweetly on the lips?

Or would you just say "no"?

If I was to say I love you,

I think I know what you would say,

You would say that you would love to try,

Perhaps another day.

If I was to say I love you,

I think you'd probably just sigh,

Tell me that you had someone else,

And that I shouldn't cry.

But I already told you I love you,

And you said it back to me,

But you said the words platonically,

Friendship's what it has to be.

And now that I told you I love you,

I feel so very small,

That ever day I see your face,

I wish I never said anything at all.
