I Cant Help Myself

I’m not supposed to want you;

I’m not supposed to care,

And yet I spend my time dreaming of all that we could share.

Im not supposed to think about you or wonder where you have been,

But no matter how I fight it,

Thoughts of you sneak in.

I’m not supposed to pounder where you are each night,

But yet you creep into my vision when the stars shine bright.

I’m not supposed to yearn so,

Always wishing you were here.

But I hunger for your kisses,

An I long to draw you near.

I’m not supposed to imagine where you are or what you do.

I know I shouldn’t cater to a single thought of you.

I’m not supposed to need you.

I know these things.

I do.

But yet I can’t help myself,

because I fell in love with you.
