self-control

His eyes meet hers
and the room starts to spin.
He can't keep his balance,
and yet a calm and peace have set in.
He gives her a hug
and her walls start to drop.
She touches his arm,
and his heart nearly stops.
He caresses her neck,
and she can barely breathe;
But she gathers up the courage to say
"stop. i should leave."
