Is It Okay If I Love You?

My mind keeps going back to you;

My eyes keep going to my phone.

I know that you're busy,

But I'm feeling so alone.

We've been talking less and less;

I haven't gotten any rest.

Is it okay if I love you?

I only wish I knew.

But I keep hoping that I'll hear

Those words coming from you.

Maybe we're only friends;

I'm trying to be content.

It's only been a year,

But oh, what that year has meant!

I said some things I didn't mean,

Because I can't say what I want to.

I told you that I'm sorry,

But you still don't know I love you.

I'll try to get some sleep tonight,

With no tears on my pillow,

But I know I'll lie awake again

Wondering if I'll ever know.

Have you even thought about it?

Has it ever crossed your mind?

If it hasn't, you should know

That you're always on mine.

Do I have to be the one

That says something first?

Is it okay if I love you?

Please just say the words.

Is it okay if I love you?

Please just say the words...?
