Falling for You

Why is love so difficult?

Falling for You

Ever since the day
You showed me your sensitive side,
I have been falling for you.
As the seconds click into minutes,
The minutes to hours,
The hours to days,
I fall more and more in love with you.
But there is a problem.
Oh, why is love always filled with problems?
The dilemma is not that you know I do not exist.
You know me,
Not well, but you know me.
The problem is that you are much older,
Wiser, and cooler than I.
I wish that I was not falling for you,
But I am nonetheless.
Not a day goes by that I do not think of you.
Why does it hurt when I ruminate about you,
Like thousands of sharp daggers piercing my skin?
My dreams are nothing more than a fantasy
As I think of the two of us together.
I know that it can never be,
And wish that I were not, how I wish I had never,
Fallen for you.
