Easy Love
I fell and fell hard.
I tried to make it go away
I tried to make it disappear
I didn’t want to love him.
It’s not that he doesn’t
Deserve to be loved.
He does, he deserves that and more
I just was afraid of getting hurt.
He tried to tell me that
He wasn’t worth it.
But it was too late by then
I was a goner.
So I denied it.
And fell more and more
Until even the most casual
Observer could see how I felt.
After that, I couldn’t deny
That I loved him anymore.
But knowing doesn’t make it
Any easier to deal with.
For one, he is such a good boy
And I am sometimes a wicked girl.
Thoughts and ideas will pop in my head
And I know they shouldn’t be there.
Another thing is that certain members
Of my family have trouble with him.
Not that that really matters.
It just makes loving him more difficult.
I wouldn’t change falling for him
For anything in the whole world.
I just wish sometimes, it was easier
I guess, though, it wouldn’t be love if it was easy.
