Do not fall in love with me, I will make you feel the rain.

Do not fall in love with me, I will make the oceans run to you.

Do not fall in love with me, You will feel the waves call out your name.

Do not fall in love with me, You will the feel the sun shine on you so brightly the energy it brings will be your driving force.

Do not fall in love with me, I have multiple demons, they don’t like to see me happy.

Do not fall in love with me, the moon will be your delight and Flowers they will be your saving grace.

Do not fall in love with me, I will let you ride in my soul, I will be a part of you.

Do not fall in love with me, your laughter will be my ring tone and your smile my screen saver.

But

When we fall out of love like always,

When you stop being my cheer of mind, I will walk away…

You will hate nature of course, because it brings back memories of me.

You will detest the dark nights, Rhythm and blues will bring frustrations to you.

You will hate poetry and poets, and think of me as wrecking your heart.

But

When you are awake at 3am, I know you will be,

I will be awake also, painting you into my notebooks.

Because,

The energy you brought to me, was more real than,

what I brought to you and,

My Love that is why I left…
