Don't

Do not let me love you.

I will love you so completely and thoroughly,

You will tire of me.

Do not let me hold your hand,

I will never let it go,

You will resent my weakness.

Do not let me in,

Do not show me your tattered edges,

Do not let me see your dented ego,

Do not let me touch your beautiful patchwork heart.

I will love it all,

I will not change a thing.

I will break myself into pieces just to fit your mold.

Do not let me start caring.

Do not let me hug you when the night is cold.

Do not make me laugh.

I will feel my heart beating in my chest,

You will become my life source,

My reason, my being.

You will hate me for it.

Do not let me love you.

I will love you hard, and soft, and in between.

I will love you like the sun does the moon,

And the ocean does the shore, no matter how hard it is pushed away.

I will not stop,

I cannot.

I will love you,

And you will hate me for it.
