Mary Katherine Gallagher : You - You ask me if I love you, And I choke on my reply, l'd rather tell you honestly, Than mislead you with a lie, And sometimes when we touch, The honesty's too much, I have to close my eyes, And hide, I wanna hold you till I die, Till we both break down, And cry, I wanna hold you, Till the fear in me, Subsides...
