If I Could Ever Love You

If I could ever love you, imagine all the things I’d say;
And if I could ever love you, would you ever feel the same?
For if I could ever love you, all the sadness would seem so far;
But if I could ever love you, I know everything would be ok.

But I can never love you, for that is the greatest sin;
And I can never love you, for you are my one true friend.
For I can never love you, not if the world were to end;
No I can never love you, cause I know how it would hurt you so.

But oh how, I would love you, if it wouldn’t cause you grief;
And oh how, I would love you, if only you could see.
So oh, how I would love you, if there was another way;
For oh, how I would love you, if you would also love me.

But you do not love me, and there is no other way.
And because you do not love me, there is nothing I can say.
I know if I were to love you, it would kill you so;
For though you do not love me, I will always love you.
