We Can't Fall In Love

perspiciens's picture

Let's just
Get one thing
Straight:

We can't
Fall
In love

You'll be
Back in
Japan
In a week

I'll be
Back to
My life

We'll never
See each other
Again

It's not
A good
Situation

I'm supposed
To be teaching
You

You're supposed
To be listening

Why is this
So complicated?

You're
Who I thought
I was looking for

And just a note, I'm listening to my iPod and "All I Ask Of You" just popped up on shuffle.

I think
We'd be
Amazing
Together

But you
Remind me
Too much
Of the last

Begging me
To take
Down my hair

Staring
Into my eyes
And laughing
At me
As I laugh
At you

Asking me
If I'm
Okay
When I
Disappear
On to the deck
Where
It's pouring rain

On the same boat
Where he said
"I love you"
To me
For the first time
Two years ago

Like I said
We'd be
Awesome

But you're
Going back
And I'm
Staying
And you're
Just like him

But better

Hey....

Are you the person who was teaching people a language for a summer job? I remember something about this... Maybe...?
