NOT EVEN CLOSE

by April Yorobe   Nov 7, 2010


As I sit here, doodling my boredom away,
I notice a stunning presence, walking towards me.
I stop what Im doing for a while to watch;
Suddenly, I find myself wanting him even more.

Months before, I promised myself not to fall again,
But here I am wishing I never did.
He is nothing extraordinary, not even close to amazing,
But still, I end up admiring what I'm seeing.

He and I knew each other; we go way, way back.
What I feel right now is what I least expected.
I admit his attractiveness is undeniable,
But what I see and feel is what i consider a sin.

I don't want to feel for him; not even close.
I'm scared of getting hurt like before.
Falling in love again is what I fear the most,
It seemed like my worst nightmare.

I must fight this feeling, this soon to be my downfall.
I may not be able to stand up again at all.
Watch out for the path you choose,
You might risk so much that you may lose.
