Dear Elliot,
Sometimes when I go to bed I pull the blankets tight,
And close my eyes and try to see your face with all my might.
We've been together many years as colleagues and as friends,
But now my heart is telling me this dance of ours must end.
You've come to mean so much to me, much more than I can say,
The happiest moments of my life are spent with you each day.
I know you have another girl who brings smiles to your eyes,
And I would rather eat my gun than turn your vows to lies.
I know you're protective of me, it's your job to keep me well,
But I can't ever buy your heart, no matter what I sell.
You're always there to fix me up and heal me when I ache,
But then I have to let you go and my heart always breaks.
Yet in you late night phone calls and our private talks, we two,
You'll never hear me say it, though I mean it, I LOVE YOU!
