My Secret

He asks me out to movies
I'm his focus, not the show
But I have a little secret
That he will never know
He asks me out to dinner
I tell it to him straight
We have to just be friends
Still, he thinks it's a date
He asks me to go steady
I have to turn him down
When my friends confront me
I simply have to frown
They ask me why I did it
And I lie the best I can
They can't know of my true love
They wouldn't understand
