This is a song about a strong att5raction in a Platonic relationship.

How Can I Begin

How can I begin to tell you I love you in that way?
Remember we're just friends, and friends are hard to find you always say?
How can I begin to tell you that I love you fearing that you might just run?
Something in the wind says we could be more than friends.  You might just be the one.  

How can I begin to show you the feelings in my heart?
You know you always said the Plato Path was ours from the start. 
How can I begin to change the way you hear me when I only whisper the truth?
Somehow let me.  We should be more than friends.  I know I'm right for you.

When you smile you nearly take my heart into your eyes.  
You never know why I seem blue.
When the day is done you leave and my heart only cries.  
It wonders why I cannot go with you.  

How can I begin to tell you that I love you fearing that you might just run?
Something in the wind says we could be more than friends.  
You know you are the one for me.

How Can I Begin

Just another nobody who's not here to be somebody.  I write songs because I can't help it, and it helps me.  If I add them here, I'm less likely to keep mixing them.  Creativity is a stream with many tributaries, and sometimes one runs through us.  The stream is more creative when tributaries meet, and I'm grateful for the collaborative efforts of others.
