    Don’t Tell Me That You Love Me

    2006

    Don’t tell me that you love me
    But hold my hand
    See me smiling
    Feel my heartbeat
    Hear me breathing
    Taste my body

    Don’t speak of ever after
    But be with me
    In the moment
    Commit to us
    For an instant
    With all you are

    Don’t say that you’ll be faithful
    But make your choice
    To be with me
    Each time we meet
    To share yourself
    To be yourself

    Don’t tell me that you love me
    But be my friend
    Or my lover
    Walk beside me
    Till our paths
    Diverge once more
