Analysis of I love you... At least I think I do
I never wanted this to be this way.
I just don’t know what to say.
On this bed I lay
And think of you all day.
Go away!
No stay!
You’re like a star
So close
Yet so far.
I look at you
My mind lost for a few
This feeling I can’t undo.
I want to feel your lips on mine.
This feeling can only be divine.
This lonely desire
Igniting my fire.
As tempting as the snake to Eve.
Will I be left alone to grieve?
No, I believe
With you by my side the world shall not deceive.
I love you…at least I think I do.
