Don't Ask Me...

Saw this on the web somewhere. Thought it applied to how I'm feeling about Lori.

Don't ask me . . .
I'm not begging you to love me.
I'm not really even asking you.
But, isn't it alright
If I cherish that hope in my heart..
If I dream of just holding your hand,
It will hurt me - not you.
I will try to keep my eyes from shining
When they see you.
And I promise
I will try not to smile a special smile
When you say hello.
but, please
Don't ask me
Not to love you . . .
