ANSWER

It's death to show my true face,
But what lies behind this wall?
It's a curse to make these uttterings,
But what is in this silence?
I know you are a true friend,
But can I trust you with my face
I know you love to be there,
But can you do more than hold me?
Right now you are my best friend,
But why can I not taste your kiss?
And will you not turn away?

It's a curse to make these utterings,
     I won't tell a soul.
But what is in this silence?

I know you are a true friend,
     I always will be that.
But can I trust you with my face?
     If I can trust you so.
I know you love to be there,
     That's not all I'm for.
But can you do more than hold me?
     How much more?
