Can't Help Falling In Love With You

 


I don't know what to name it.
Not love. Not hate.
But something.
Like an itch 
That wouldn't abate.
You were always there,
Under my skin.

The higher you build walls
Around your heart
The Harder you fall
When someone tears them down

In life, you have to take 
The pace that love goes. 
You don’t force it. 
You just don’t force love, 
You don’t force falling in love, 
You don’t force being in love
 You just become. 
You just cannot explain,
 But you just feel it.

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?
… Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
… Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
