Not Loving You

From the moment you saw him
I was afraid you'd fall in love
with this friend of mine
that you knew nothing of

as weeks went by
I saw it more and more
but only I knew what was coming
was more than you were ready for

you wanted to know
if he cared for you in this way
I felt a little hesitant
but asked anyway

yet I found
he loved someone we both knew
someone you're close with
and who is a friend to you

I wanted not to tell
I didn't want you to see
I didn't want you to be hurt
because he's in love with me
