Saying what I'm now about to say Is like standing poised upon a cliff. It seems like just an ordinary day, But my future is suspended on an if. To me you're an extraordinary friend: You've transformed who I am, my being's core. I would not for my life want this to end, But now I want to ask for something more. I love you, and I hope that you love me; But if you don't that way, please don't go. Although I want to love you physically, Your wishes will command me, once I know. I must speak now, whatever you may do; I do not want to lose a gift like you.
