The Secret Confessions Of A High School Senior

I Shouldn't But I Do

I Shouldn't But I Do.

I know I shouldn't

But I do.

I can't help but fall for you.

Your words are like blankets on a cold, winter night

Soft, warm and comforting

Call me stupid

Naive

Or silly for feeling this way.

This is who and how I am.

I fall fast and hard

For those I shouldn't be falling for.

My eyes light up when I see your name on my phone

I slowly whisper "babe" when your email comes through.

I know I shouldn't feel this way

But I do. 

You can't help who you fall for

Just like you can't help the fact of your height

Or eye color.

Somethings are just

Inevitable. 

Possible bound to happen.

Under the circumstances, 

I feel guilty 

For feeling the way I do.

But who am I to deny my feelings? 

2,889 miles between us

But feels like we're a lot closer

Should I back away now 

Or

Let life takes its course?

The stars wouldn't have brought us together

For a few simple days

Maybe the stars aligned

For something so much greater

Than both of us.

I shouldn't want this

But I do.
