My Lie

I see her everyday

Her beautiful face

Her gracefully flowing hair

And she sees me

But as a friend; as a brother

I see her as more

But convince myself

That it could never be

It will never happen

The way I dream

I tell others that it could never be

That we're friends

And nothing more

But inside I know

That we're friends

And nothing more

But inside I know

That she is the one

I always dream of being with

I hope that one day

The lies that I tell myself will dissipate

And my love can be shown

But not today

I push the thoughts to the back of my mind

I will never have the courage

To tell her now I truly feel

And so I let the days pass

She's my friend; my sister

But it's only a lie
