Trying not to love you

If I told you that I love you
would you stick around to reply?
Would you run for the hills?
Would you leave me high and dry?
Cause I swear, I didn't mean to -
I even tried not to.
But honestly,
I think I should blame you.
Because if it hadn't been for you -
your kind and caring eyes
your subtle touch
and your stolen kiss one moonlit night,
maybe then, I would have stood a chance.
But as it is, if it hadn't been for you and all you are
you wouldn't have woken the sleeping corners of my heart
and maybe then, I wouldn't have failed
when trying not to love you.
