i cannot drag you down

my feeling for him

I suppose it started when our eyes met.

 I suppose it continued when you took my hand. 

I did not expect you to kiss me like that.

 It just made the flame grow much stronger for you. 

I’ll pull you under if you don’t let go.

 But I don’t want you to ever let me go. 

But I cannot drag you down with me; I will pry myself from you before I take you with me. 

Even if it means being hated I do this because I know I can save you. 

I’ll fall as you remain on solid ground for I cannot take you with me in this dark world.

 I could not live with myself if I did. 

Look away with those sad eyes just know I am saving you from my fate.
