Wait!

When love turns my heart around,

reason is not to be found.

My equilibrium becomes disturbed

and my feelings will not be curbed.

When sanity has fled my mind

and feelings made my reason blind,

can I then trust your character

to act as reason would prefer?

Or will greed gobble us up

as we on each other’s bodies sup?

Will we remember to take pause?

Will we realize the greater cause?

Between love and lust is a divide

and we are forced to decide

if the moment’s weight is heaviest

or if this choice is truly best.

Can we invest in self-denial

as I beg that we should wait a while?
