don't fall in love with me

i wish i never looked into your hazel eyes;
i wish i never caught you staring at me from across the room;
i wish you had never talked to me;
because i feared that
i would start falling for you too.

never experienced love,
never could imagine what it would feel like.
but you made me feel something sprout
within my fragile yet stony heart.
but i'm afraid,
so afraid.
because even though you've fallen first,
i know that i would fall harder.
and i would be the one to get hurt.
so i would push you away,
to selfishly protect my fragile heart
like every other time.

i wish i never saw your kind heart;
i wish you never cared;
because now,
i don't even have reasons to push you away.
and i'd hate myself.
i'd hate myself to death for pushing you away
and hurting you.

i wish i could have warned you:
Don't fall in love with me.
but i couldn't,
and now i've made you crumble.
but guess what?
i am so in love with you
that i want to selfishly put your pieces back
even though i know that
i might end up hurting myself.
that's how much i love you.
