Are you all I need?

by Athena - Not entered

I lay here thinking about you
Thinking about all the things that separate us
There are so many reasons why I can't be with you
And every one of them is good
But...
 What about the way I feel when you are next to me?
 What about the way my body tingles at your touch?
 What about the emptiness I feel when I'm not with you?
But then I hear everyone, including myself, telling me we are wrong for each other
Do I listen to my heart or 
Should I listen to my mind?
Listening to my heart is what gets me hurt
I'm so confused
God knows you are good to me
Good for me
You are just waiting for me to decide
You don't push 
You just want whats best for me
I don't know what to do
I know you love me
But how long before the barriers that are between us get to hard to overcome?
How long before the pressure from everyone else divides us?
I know we have love,
But is love really enough?

Reason for writing:

    I know this guy and he loves me, and I think I could love him back except he is two years younger than I am and that kind of thing is NOT done at my school. I am so confused. PLEASE give me some advice and put it on the comments page. It is also hard because my whole life, I have been with older guys. HELP!
