How to stop

I don't know how I'm going to stop falling for you. I think I'm fine, loving you in my way, keeping my emotional distance to stay where we are. Then you walk down the stairs in your costume and my heart falls to the floor. Its not anything risqué, and you wear it every year. In the years past I admired it through a fog of self doubt and self sabotage.

This is the first year it feels like I saw you without all that in the way, and you were bewitching. I could feel my heart skip a beat. I could not stop myself from complimenting you like a Love sick fool. I managed to stop after a while but I know it was too late. So how do I do it, how do I stop falling.
