dangerous love

my love for you was not the kind of love that tucks me in bed at night,
but the kind that keeps me awake til dawn;

the prospect of us drove me sprightly throughout the nights,
the hopelessness of us kept me lethargic throughout the days;

call me a dolt for this feeling, this feeling constantly ebbing.
call me stupid, thickheaded and obtuse,
but baby boy, this thing you’ve planted in my heart is growing and ascending into the sky, making me fly close to the sun.

it would only be a matter of time until I get too close,
and the proximity would burn, destroy me.
but for now, let me enjoy flight, the high i get from you.

yes, i know it won't last, that it's temporary,
because the unity of you and me is unlikely.

especially when you've got your heart set on another girl,
let me enjoy this fleeting misleading world and let my heart unfurl.
