Don't ask me

I don't know what could be title for these lines, I wrote on 6.10.2004. Well whatever, it can be, now the time has passed, so atleast 'Don't ask me' the proper title :-))

"I'm not begging you to like me.
I'm not really even asking you.
But, isn't it alright,
If I cherish that hope in my heart?
If I dream of just holding your hand?
It will hurt me - not you.

I'll try to keep my eyes from shining,
when they see you.
I promise,
I will not try not to smile a special smile,
When you say hello.

But, please,
Don't ask me,
Not to like you."
