Choosey Lover

My mind is telling me one thing
My heart is telling me another
How could I choose my significant 
other

Could it be her/him meaning to pass 
my way
Or could it be someone just crossing 
my pathway

Is this an illusion 
Seems like a perfect match
Is this too good to be true
With no strings attached

Don’t know whether to get things 
started 
Or stop it at the moment now
But my heart it telling me different
I’m so confused wondering how

Don’t want to feel hurt
Don’t want to feel any pain
Don’t want my other to feel the same

Don’t really want to leave
Don’t know if i should go
But maybe there’s much more out 
there
To help me grow
 
But if I leave
I wonder how it may be
Please someone tell me 
Is it worth risking my future to see

I want to do the right thing
It feels so right to me 
But when I think about the other
Why do I feel so guilty

Is she/he really my chosen one
Or is this just a test
Why is it so hard
Sometimes I just cant seem to rest

Why when we make eye contact
It seems like something is there
We think about the same things
And don’t mean to stare

How can I make everything right
For whomever I may choose
Don’t want any hard feeling 
From the one I may loose.
