I can't Love you.

My love for you is a sweet, yet bitter contradiction,
I want to meet you but I don't want to see you, your beauty will blind me!
I want to fall in love with you, but I want to let you go,
I want to kiss you, but I'm afraid to miss you,
I want to embrace you, but I don't want you to melt like sweet butter on me,
I want to look into your eyes, but I'm afraid to drown in your gaze,
I want to send you flowers, but I'm afraid they will wilt away and die,
I want to hold your soft hands but then to watch you slip away,
So my darling,
I can't love you, for if I do, I will never stop,
If I Love you, I will love you incredibly, amazingly, just too much,
If I Love you too much, I will suffocate you,
If the power and depth of my Love suffocates you,
then you can't breathe,
If you can't breathe, then I will lose you,
If I lose you, then I CAN'T live anymore,
So my darling,
I''m sorry, I can't Love you.
