If I tell you how I’m feeling, <br />Will you tell me honestly? <br />If my heart sends out a message, <br />Will yours send one back to me? <br /> <br /> <br />If this love I feel for you is real, <br />I hope you feel it, too, <br />And when we meet again someday, <br />We’ll know if it is true. <br /> <br /> <br />I’ll say “I love you” to your face <br />And hope that we will find <br />That tenderness and love grow best <br />With friendship intertwined. <br /> <br /> <br />If love is paired with friendship, <br />I would hope that we can be <br />The best of friends and lovers, too, <br />It means that much to me.<br /><br />Gail Grierson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-tell-you/
