Captivation

I can’t stop thinking about you
Despite the glaring fact
That both of us has someone who
Would wind up hurt were we to act

Upon this flickering spark;
I can’t stop thinking about you
At night I lay there in the dark
And wonder is she thinking of me too?

These feelings I’m reluctant to pursue
Keep pulling on my hapless heart
I can’t stop thinking about you
Why did I allow myself to start

As I toss to and fro
My options far too few
The only thing I know—
I can’t stop thinking about you.
