If you ask...

If you ask;
I will stop telling you that I love you.
And I will not tell you how much I want to hold and kiss you.
And I will not tell you how I long to make love to you.
- If you ask.

If you ask;
I will stop telling you how handsome you are.
And I will not tell you that your eyes are the most beautiful I have ever seen.
And I will not tell you that you are a bright red maple tree in my forest of pine.
- If you ask.

If you ask;
I will stop telling you that I cherish you.
And I will not tell you that you make my heart smile and my Spirit soar.
And I will not tell you that I thank God every day for your presence in my life.
- If you ask.

If you ask;
I will stop telling you how often I think of you.
And I will not tell you that I woke up hugging my pillow wishing it were you.
And I will not tell you that I feel more alive when I am with you
- If you ask.

If you ask;
I will stop telling you that you are the most incredible man I have ever known.
And I will not tell you that the mere thought of you causes me to smile
And I will not tell you that the sound of your laughter melts away my darkness.
- If you ask.

If you ask;
I will stop telling you that I treasure you.
And I will not tell you that I absolutely believe in you.
And I will not tell you how I want to share life with you.
- If you ask.

If you ask;
I will stop telling you of my feelings.
Because I love you I will honor your request.
Because I love you I respect your boundaries.
- If you ask.
