Don't fall in love with me.
I've witnessed far too many people fall in and out of love,
to believe in such a silly phrase.
I believe in that love the way a little girl believes in magic and fairytales.
All starry-eyed and fluttery.
And when you grow up, its an evident lie.
I'll believe in that "love" when wishing on stars actually works.
So don't.
Don't fall in love with me.
Instead make a choice.
Choose to love me.

The Love I do not Want,
is one revolving around feelings.
They're temporary.
Evanescent.
Fleeting.
So when they leave, love does too.
And seeing this has torn me apart.
Over and over and over.
This is what it does to you.
It screws you up.
It leaves you fragile and thin and weak.
I may be so **** uncertain as to what it is I want.
But I know,
oh I know what I do not want.
