Great Expectations

I'm not asking you to be the cutest
I don't care how you look
I'm not asking you to be the strongest
I don't care if you'd win a fight
I'm not asking you to be the cleverest
I don't care about exams
I'm not asking you to be the bravest
I don't care that you get scared
I'm not asking you to be the loudest
I can hear you when you whisper
I'm not asking you to be the most popular
I want you all to myself
I'm not asking you to be anyone else
I just want you to be yourself

I'm asking you to be the sweetest
I know you are, just let it show
I'm asking you to be my friend
Because love is friendship caught on fire
I'm asking you to always be there
Don't go away and leave me
I'm asking you to guard my heart
I'm giving you the key
I'm asking you to be truthful
You know lies would only hurt us both
I'm asking you to dry my tears
And never to make me cry
I'm asking you to love me
That's all I'm really asking.
