I Don't Want to be In Love

by I Seem to be the Heartless   Jan 4, 2008


I lay awake all night last night
Just pondering the thought of you.
I thought about the first time we met;
That first time our eyes connected;
That time you put your hand on my leg;
When you smiled at me, those blue eyes shining.
All these images of you kept running through my mind;
Kept leaving trails of wet memories running down my face.

Lying there, staring up at the ceiling,
I remembered the feel of your arms around me,
The thrill your strong embraced brought on.
I could just about feel the force
Of your hungry kisses on my lips.
Then the painful recollections,
Burned at my heart inside -
The wet memories ran down my face again.

Rolling over onto my side,
I realised that I am in love with you;
That these recollections and painful memories
Are all brought on by my feeling for you.
It's the pain of not being able to have you;
The heartache of not seeing you any more;
Of not being allowed to love you
The way my heart wants to.

Closing my eyes,
Willing all the images of you to disappear,
I feel the trails of wet memories
Tracing their way down my face once again.
I don't want to have to hurt like this over you.
I don't want to have to beg for your attention.
I don't want to have to feel like this anymore.
I don't want to be in love...
