Rules of Love

Here are the Rules.
The ones everybody
abides by,
that we should too.

Don't fall in love before 20.
That's simple.
Don't forsake your academia
for mindless fancies that pass.

Don't be out alone with him.
You might get into trouble,
because, no one
really trusts your judgment.

Don't hang out with him and his friends,
more than your girlfriends.
You might become a tomboy,
and too rough and harsh for your own good.

Don't wink at him from across the room.
You might distract yourself
from all the work
that really should be done first.

Don't tell him anything.
Young foolish dreams,
will disappear,
sooner or later.

Don't do anything stupid.
Otherwise known as
don't do something,
you'll regret later.

Too bad really,
that I broke them all,
the first time,
I saw him.

A/N: Fun to write this. And I find it amusing that people think you can "control" love with rules. Seriously.
