If I Told You Poem by Ezediuno Louis Odinakaose

I know we are friends
Just friends.
I know you care
Like a sister to a brother
Just the way you care.
I know he is there
Though the light isn't shining bright
But he is still there.
I know you are hanging on
Even though his hold is now loose
You are still holding on.
But what if I told you...
If I told you I feel your pain,
If I told you I hear your heart's yawning,
If I told you I see the hollow in your eyes,
If I told you I sense the darkness in your soul,
What if I told you I love you.
I know what you'l say...
You'l say thanks for being there for me,
You'l say true love hurts sometime,
You'l say he is the light in your eyes,
You'l say where did it all go wrong,
You'l say but I stil love him,
But what if I told you...
If I told you I want more than being friends,
If I told you I cant love another,
If I told you I dont want to love another sé,
If I told you I'l die waitin for you,
If I told you I love you.
I know what you'l say...
You'l say we'l lose what we already have,
You'l say if I open my heart I'l find,
You'l say love wil find me in another,
You'l say please dont say things you cant keep,
You'l say your haert belongs to him.
But what if I told you...
If I told you I dont want to lose you,
If I told you I want to ever be with you,
If I told you I want to for e'er roll with you,
If I told you I'v waited a long time for you,
What if I told you I love you.
I know what you'l say...
You'l say I already have you,
You'l say we cant have what I want,
You'l say we are too close to do that now,
You'l say but you'v been in love with him the same,
You'l say you love me like a brother please understand.
But what if I told you I love you...
If I told you I still do love you.
