Love is painful

I'm not begging you to love me
I'm not really even asking you
But, wouldn't it be all right
If I cherished the hope in my heart?
If I yearned to hold your hand
It would only hurt me-not you
If you didn't notice me,
My heart would be aching-not yours
But, if you did notice me,
or even, by any chance,
Gazed into my eyes
I would try not to tremble
But, please
Don't ask me not to love you...
