Please don't think I love you

Please don't think it's love 1.I hate how quickly I fall in love It happens so naturally, like a leaf falling from a tree in summer. I grow cosier and sweeter Hiding in a hibiscus stalk like nectar 2.Please don't mistake it for infatuation Slowly and deeply, it creeps in me Like a python, sucking the life out of its victim It's a temporal digression 3. I watch from the balcony each night as your car rolls into the driveway Tried to wave or call out your name, like that would push me astray Pretend you're interested in us as I walk by Leaned sticky notes on your car, and you only sigh 4. Please don't think of this as infatuation It is an obsession Deep-rooted from within It consumes me inside out, that is what it is I wish it could go away 5. Please don't think of this as love I'm just a fan in love with art Not the artist Please don't think I am in love I know it's tough 6.As an aesthete, I adore the way You flick your brush on the canvas The rhythm you listen to as you sway Your brows tingle at every depiction, while I stay anonymous I notice the little things because I tend to be mysterious 7. Please don't think of this as hilarious I am not in love with thee But your work, I am too Please don't think I am serious I think I love you
