Love Poem: In This Position

In This Position

Just hearing your voice on the telephone 
makes my body foam like it's never done before
I want you, yet I barely know you.
It's like both our bodies are singing the 
very same song.
I hate that I feel this way about somebody
who already has somebody.
I don't want this situation to turn into wishful 
thinking. 
I can't have my heart missing something 
that I shouldn't even be pining for. 
It's just that  you have this way
about you that seems to click with me
I know if we ever did do something
that it will go down in history 
but I'd better hang up now 
before I start falling in love.
It's not me your calling girl friend.
it isn't me that you'd be hurting.
If you go and do what you know you want
than a girl I barely know will end up hurt
just because we took it too far.
I don't want this position,
we can't change any of the conditions.
That's why it's better to hear the dial tone
than to be caught creeping on the low.
That would be a whole new low.
So I'm afraid to say it but I have to go.
