Don't Fall in Love With Him

Don't fall in love with him.
It doesn't matter how beautiful his smile is or how his eyes shine bright enough to light up even the darkest nights. 

Don't fall in love with him.
It shouldn't matter that his touch sets your skin on fire and makes your lungs fill with air. It shouldn't matter that his laughter is your favorite song and his voice your sweetest lullaby.

Just please don't fall in love with him, darling.
It shouldn't matter that you fit perfectly in his arms and that his kiss makes your lips tingle and your mind go fuzzy. It shouldn't matter that his warmth is your greatness weakness.

You can't fall in love with him.
Even if he wears matching couples outfits with you in public. Even if he lets you eat the last piece of cheesecake, despite it being his favorite kind.

You can't fall in love with him.
Even if he stays up late to hear you rant knowing he has to be up early the next day. Even if he drives five hours to say he loves you for the very first time. 

You can't fall in love with him because when he's gone nothing will be the same.
Colors will fade and music will make you sob. You will wake up screaming at 3am and your mind will be blank of answer. You'll bury yourself in piles of blankets desperately trying to recreate his warmth. You will feel your heart breaking and your lungs collapsing in his absence.  You'll cut your hair off and change in the color in an attempt to try and recognize your reflection without his. 

Don't fall in love with him because the whole world will change and you won't even notice until he's gone.

Don't fall in love with him because your heart will race and your palms will sweat and you were a goner when your name crossed his lips that very first time.

You already fell in love with him and you can't even fathom the pain you will experience when he's gone.
