How can I be your friend?

I can feel it through your eyes
In the way you touch my hand
A linger, a caress
I begin to understand

There is a meaning to your words
Much more than what they really are
I am so close to belief
Yet I am so far

I know your heart is full of truth
I know it is not lies you speak
But still I cannot grasp it
The notion of you in love with me

I wonder how it is possible
How you can feel this way
When you know for a fact
I do not feel the same

What is it you are looking for?
How long will your search go on
How far will you take this
Before what we have left is gone?

I am waiting for an answer
I am trying to be smart
To find a way I can keep your hand in mine
With out breaking your heart
