I fall in love with girls the way I fall in love with the stars,

Slowly and from a distance,

Knowing that even though they are pretty,

getting too close will hurt me.

I fall in love with girls the same way I fall for the ocean,

Only looking, never touching, because one touch will ruin me forever.

I fall in love with girls the same way I fall for music,

The comfort is there, but it will never truely be mine,

Forever there but just out of reach.

I fall in love with girls the same way I fall in love with a book,

Knowing I can give all of my love to it, to her, but I will never get it back,

No matter how hard I try.

I fall in love with girls the same way leave fall from trees,

With no warning and the knowledge that it’s a bad idea,

Because someone with step on me if this love is known.

It’s easy for me to fall in love,

But I wish I wouldn’t,

For it is this love I have for girls that will kill me one day.
