How Can I Say It

I really just don't know
How to say this to you.

I know you like me,
Its obvious.

That, I don't mind
I couldn't really care less
What you do with your feelings.

But what you do at night,
I can't accept.
I don't think I can ever
Sleep in the same room as you.

Its my body, mine alone
And I don't want you near it.

I don't know how
To tell you this to your face.

Because I do love you
But not like that.

And I never will be able to,
Because you're my cousin.
