Please don't think I love you

Please don't think it's love

1.I hate how quickly I fall in love

It happens so naturally, like a leaf falling from a tree in summer.

I grow cosier and sweeter

Hiding in a hibiscus stalk like nectar



2.Please don't mistake it for infatuation

Slowly and deeply, it creeps in me

Like a python, sucking the life out of its victim

It's a temporal digression 





3. I watch from the balcony each night as your car rolls into the driveway

Tried to wave or call out your name, like that would push me astray 

Pretend you're interested in us as I walk by

Leaned sticky notes on your car, and you only sigh



4. Please don't think of this as infatuation

It is an obsession

Deep-rooted from within

It consumes me inside out, that is what it is

I wish it could go away



5. Please don't think of this as love

I'm just a fan in love with art

Not the artist

Please don't think I am in love

I know it's tough



6.As an aesthete, I adore the way

You flick your brush on the canvas

The rhythm you listen to as you sway

Your brows tingle at every depiction, while I stay anonymous

I notice the little things because I tend to be  mysterious 



7. Please don't think of this as hilarious

I am not in love with thee 

But your work, I am too

 Please don't think I am serious

I think I love you
