Love in Denial

i only know you for a few days
my head and my friends tell me to stay away from you
all my alarms should have been activated
and yet i find myself drawn to you
every moment i wait for you to come around
a word from you will always lift my heart from a doldrum
but is it for real? could it be?
could it be love that i'm feeling
or could it be that you are just filling in my need
but is filling someone's need, fulfilling the desires to be love?
so what is love? is it this that i'm feeling
 or is it really something far more complicated and deeper
i use to think i know what love is
i use to think i know who i am and what i want
but when you came along,
i just don't seem to know
and maybe i do
i'm just afraid of the pain that it will cause
if i acknowledge what i am feeling inside
so i might as well deny it forever
