This originated during my college days (many years ago!) I have updated it some, but not much...
A little in love is all that I'll be maybe I'll fall just a degree Maybe I won't melt when he smiles maybe my hope won't run for miles Maybe my world won't encircle his face maybe my heart won't quicken its pace Maybe his words won't brazenly glow maybe my nervous worship won't show Maybe he won't counsel clandestine meetings maybe his touch won't be so fleeting Maybe my mind won't be dazzled and meek maybe my will won't be hollow and weak Maybe I'll excuse his passion-borne bruises maybe I'll use the face that he uses A little in love is all I'll concede but love can be lies fools like me believe. 3/16/18
