More Than You Would Know
More Than You Would Know

You do make me want to be a better man.
It is strange and peculiar,
that thoughts of you drive out the best in me.
Sometimes I do wonder,
whether you feel as I do,
but tread those waters I dare not ponder.
Friendship has a sweeter taste;
for it carries lighter loads.
Surely I could not bear to burden you
with life's mundane chores, along our daily roads.
Soul searching as I may,
it is inexplicable to feel this way!
I had planned to take this secret to the very end.
But that day you asked,
and I answered truthfully,
that yes, I once did cared for you.
In more ways that you would know.
As the years wear on,
the ripples you once stirred
have long been laid to rest.
But I have never told you,
and may never will,
that you are one of the few
who truly can move my heart; cause a tingle in my chest.
No, it is not romance that I feel for you,
that part I am certain.
But I still would care for you,
more than you would know.
