Not Today

Say it’s OK to say I love you
We don’t have to run away
No, not today.
I love you doesn’t have to mean
We have to turn our backs
on the people who'd want us to stay.
Say it’s OK to say I need you
You don’t have to say it back
No, not today.
I need you but I’m not going to take you
Away from the life
That you may not want today.
Say it’s OK to keep you in a locket
Safely kept in my heart
I love you and I will say it
But I’m afraid it won’t be today.
