Make it stop

How do I do it?
How do I suck it up and say it?
I like you.
A lot.
You've arrested my thoughts
You've taken over my dreams.
Everything I read reminds me of you
Everything I hear reminds me of you
Make it stop
Please, make it stop
I can't afford to be a lovesick teenager
I can't let myself fall deeper and deeper
Into this dark pool called infatuation
Please stop being my ray of sunshine
You're older, and perfect
You make me want to be good
You make me want to know everything about you
Those endearing little traits, those annoying habits
The past, your friends, your thoughts
I would like to be involved in your future
In your decisions, your career which is coming up so quickly
Two years.
That's all we have at school together
If you were my age
We would have plenty of time
Please…. Just make it stop.
I can't have these feelings.
I have a career to worry about.
I have a life, and my sanity to worry about
So please, refuse to hang out with me
Stop being so adorable
Stop making me want your face to be the last thing I see at night
And your voice the last thing I hear.
I can't do it anymore….
