Her

I know what could happen

I know how it could end

But I am in love

I know. . I know it's illegal

And we could be caught

But how can I turn away?

When all I can think about is

Her smile

Her hair

Her face

Her laugh

Her body

She makes me happy

I can't bare the thought of losing her

Here I am 19 and she's 15

It's not much of a difference

But in adult eyes its terrible

Oh help me I have madly fallen

The way she inhales the smoke of her cigarette

The way she quietly hums to her favorite song

The way she looks at me so adoringly

The way she looks at the sunset and its dying embers

I've never seen someone so beautiful

Her and her big brown eyes

No one has ever made me this happy

And I don't know what to do or how to react

What if we get caught?

What if it turns bad?

What if I lose her?

Or worse what if I lose myself?

Oh how I do love her

But she keeps me up at night

With the constant aching though that she'll be gone or she'll leave me

She gives me the constant fear that I'll never be good enough

The constant fear that he, the boy she fell for first will take her away

The constant fear she won't wake up

The constant fear that nothing will ever be the same anymore

I'm terribly terrified that everything will change, and I don't know if I'm ready for that . . .
