October: Ways Not To Fall In Love

I will not ask your name
in case it becomes my new lullaby
turned over and over again.

I will not kiss you first
in case, pecked, it remains with me
a silent signature of your lips.

I will not dance with you
in case the drink blurs your face into my dreams
watching between Love and Like.

I will not tell you my hopes
in case you fall for those
and not for me.

I will not speak to you
in case your voice begins to merge
with the heart-drum in my chest.

I will not text you quickly
or leave you kisses
in case I begin to fall and fall.
