Love Is a Dangerous Game To Play

i laugh at myself
glancing over at you at the otherside of the room
smiling with that charm you somehow always manage to possess

i manage to look away
reminding myself that i can't win a losing game
not against you, anyway

fighting your witty demeanour
and captivating voice

i'm walking right past you
but ignoring you isn't a choice

I'll never forget the day where i first realised
that the game of love began

a bittersweet feeling of loss swept me off of my feet
love
this word could ruin everything i stand for
or change our lives forever
all in the click of a finger

i think to myself
am i too young to feel the way i do?
setting myself up for a journey of ecstasy and heartbreak

love is like a tug of war
pulling from one side to another
but eventually
we must admit
that all games must come to an end
