I'd Tell You I Love You But Then They Would Know

He whispers "I love you"
when he thinks they might not hear it
He tells me I'm his everything
but only I know this
He says we'll last forever...

I don't say anything
There isn't words to say
Its clear by what actions he takes
He really does love me but
Their opinions mean more to him

This love is odd
Hidden, for fear that they'll see
Him with me

He's afraid things would change
but I don't want them to stay the same
