Don't Fall In Love

You promised not to fall in love
remember?
that was the only condition
the only unbreakable rule

But now love is in your eyes
pouring through with every blink
an ideal of me and you
a possible life together, a future
and you know it can never be

Recall how this started
behind closed doors
through hushed whispers and
quietly locked eyes
removing ourselves, responding to
your hints, flirts, approaches
my responses, affirmations and purrs

We navigated deep waters and dark trenches
spread open wide searching
breathing, enjoying
removing obstacles and granting freedom
expression, free from judgement
discovering natural passion
without inhibition

But I explained it before
told you not to let this happen
to remember not to confuse
lust with love
passion with promise
release with reliance
climax with claim

We can't confuse this or
get wrapped into its potential
we must keep it separate, distinct
enjoy love making and
soul comforting
without life merging or hope intertwining

Please, please
remember our promise
