Con Affeto

What would you do,
If you realised the person you loved
loved you too.
Loved you...too much.

They tell you every feeling.
They ask for advice about emotion.
And they consider themselves,
lucky
to have you.

What would you do,
If the person you loved,
Loved you too.
What would you say,
If I were to mention,
It was love in another way.
How would you feel,
If I revealed the end;
That their love is only for a friend.

With everything she tells you,
About her love, you realise that it is not for you.
For every question she asks,
She asks for another.
And when she considers how lucky she is,
She means to have you,
as a friend, and that is all that you will ever be.

And yet you still look into her eyes,
Con affetto.
With affection.
