These Are the Rules

A throbbing headache 
No advil to pop 
my hearts wants answers
yet it hurts too much to listen
I want you so much 
but your involved 
therefore I can't touch
and I fear this situation 
I don't want this aggravation
Sometimes I just feel like running
Tears fall like raindrops
and all of sudden my hearts stops
I won't let your involvement 
drown my soul 
I fear becoming Melancholy 
I fear longing for your body
yet you have obligations
and i'm just another situation
I wasn't even suppose to 
receive an invitation 
but I guess this attraction
that we have can't be ignored
But I refuse to be glued 
I can dance a little 
plan a seduction or two
but I absolutely cannot fall 
in love with you.
