Have to

You have to love me,
before I can love you back.

If you don't,
I can only love you,

and a love unanswered 
will surely fade away.

You have to love me,
before I can love you back.

If you don't,
I can only love you,

you know I do,
don't you.

That's why I stayed,
that's why I'm here,

that's why losing your love
is my greatest fear.

I had it once,
this I know,

and I sure don't want
to watch it go.
