CLOSE
I came close to asking you last night
If you'd think about being mine!
I caught you looking my way a time or two
I believe I was made for lovin' you!

I wonder how you'd react if I was to ask
'Cause to your heart's glow - I'd love to bask!
Next week, I'll miss you so much - I won't know what to do
Because I love so much just being near you!
When you called me this morning, it brightened my day,
Even though, you've still not said what I want you to say!
We've become close friends but I wanna be closer
But I hope you haven't given up on love since you lost her!
Some people believe that you're attracted to me, too,
But, if we'll be getting together - the choice is up to you!
If we have faith that we can make it - then we will
But first, I need to know how you feel!

I'm thinking of calling you up and taking that chance
Because you're someone I can love and understand!
I'll wait till you're alone when I call you, to see if I can come
I'll tell you how I feel, hoping you'll stay and not run!
I wonder if I tell you - will our friendship end??
No matter your answer - I don't wanna ruin the relationship 'tween two good friends!
