 </div><p>It’s an impossible thing<br>
to tell a boy<br>
not to love a girl</p>
<p>Impossible<br>
to train his stuttering lips to speak<br>
or still the ticking of his heart<br>
when a dam breaks within him<br>
and his blood rages like an untamed river</p>
<p>Impossible<br>
to say the least<br>
to slow the beating of his heart<br>
or hasten the sluggishness of his mind</p>
<p>when a smile steals across his face<br>
in a dream and yet he is awake<br>
when his legs refuse to obey command<br>
and his feet go left instead of right</p>
<p>for he is completely unaware<br>
when his eyes shine<br>
and his breath is held captive<br>
when light mirrors his joy<br>
and dances on red rose petals<br>
when speech divorces his lips<br>
and his heart speaks a thousand words<br>
which his thoughts long to say<br>
but his mouth fails to echo</p>
<p>Pray, do not tell a boy<br>
not to love a girl<br>
For in that vein<br>
it is impossible.</p>
