If I told you....

if I told you that I love you,
it'd be a crime.
because to be able to express it,
forces me to steal your time.
if I told you that I love you,
you wouldn't believe how much.
maybe because you can't see,
something you can't touch.
if I told you that I love you,
you'll say you already know.
I've loved you since the beginning of time,
and i hope I never have to let go.
if I told you that I love you,
you'd say you love me back.
I don't see why I'm worthy of your love,
when so many things I still lack.
if I told you that I love you,
you wouldn't be surprised.
because by now,
you have ought to realize.
if I told you that i love you
would you stay by my side?
would you support me if I fail
after the millions of times I've tried?
