is this love or just a silly crush?
it's not about being rescued -
I can save myself,
been doing it all my life
it's not about sex -
getting laid is easy
when you're a woman
you've drawn me in
with your gentle heart
and beautiful dark eyes
making me want nothing more
than to be in your arms
kissing you and listening to music
this might be only a crush
you might only live in my head
but I won't stop trying
to make you fall in love with me
besides, it makes for decent poetry
Enjoy every bit of joy and happiness you can while it lasts. Life is short.
Soundtrack: I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You - Tom Waits
