Tell
How can you tell?
When your feelings,
Mixed and confused,
Turn to love.
Love that's true and pure
Love complete and total
How can you tell?
When you don't even know what love is
And can you tell
When the one you have feelings for
Shows none for you?
How can you tell its love?
When it is that that has treated you so cruelly in the past?
When past feelings
Have tricked you
And played games
How can you be sure?
When is it safe to assume?
That it's ok to say the words you long to hear
Those three simple words worth so much
The words you ache to express
But you're afraid they're not true
"I love you"
It sounds so definite, so decided
And you're neither of those
So just sit and wonder
When you can tell..
