what to do with love?

what do you do when someone says they love you
and you love them back, but can't
when everything tells you do it
but something strong is holding back

what do you do when your world is spinning faster
than you ever thought it could
when all you need is time
to know there's nothing you can do

what do you do when you want something
something you can't have
something you had once
but thought you'd never have again

what do you do when you are haunted
by a past that makes its visits
in times you hold most precious
and are never really willing to give up

what do you do when you can't breathe
and you want badly to give in
but giving in to the temptation
could never give you what you need
