You Can't

Look in my eyes and say that you don't want to be my friend.
Hold my hand and tell me you don't miss me.
Wrap your arms around me and tell me you're not aching.
Kiss my lips and tell me you don't see me that way.

But you won't,
Because you can't...

Just keep your eyes averted and your back turned, so you don't slip and repeat past mistakes.
And leave me here freezing, until you need my support, because you know I'll be here, always waiting...with open arms and a yearning heart.
