Don't look at me that way; don't say those things to me. <br />Don't make me notice you; I do not want to see. <br />Don't get inside my head; don't tell me that I'm smart. <br />I do not want the pain; you're too close to my heart. <br /> <br />Don't smile that winsome smile with the shadows 'cross your face. <br />Don't make me long to feel your comforting embrace. <br />Don't make it hard to go when it's time for me to part. <br />I do not want the pain; you're too close to my heart. <br /> <br />Don't catch me off my guard; don't make me love you so. <br />Don't take me by surprise, with my face lit all aglow. <br />Don't make me feel regret if we have to be apart. <br />I must accept the pain of my disconcerted heart.<br /><br />Christine K.
