To Fall In Love

It's a pity to fall in love 
with someone you can't have
It's like wanting to become an engineer 
and sucking at math 
it's one of those painful kinds of situations 
that send electrical sensations through the body
You see loving you like I do
has become more than just a hobby
I wake up thinking your name 
and I close my eyes at night and see your face
I tried to deny the feelings 
because this was already a lot to swallow
now I've given birth 
and it's love I realize now 
that has blessed me with this curse
