they say that
you can fall in
love or lust.
I can love but

                                  I can’t
fall into lust.
I don’t want to
and I don’t feel
such things. I
do feel love, and
I will never

                                   forget
the first time
I fell in love.
It wasn’t a
him like I was
told it should
be. It was

                                  her
and it was
something
beautiful, just
like she was.
Her face remains
in my memory,
and I’ll never
forget what her

                                  touch
felt like, even
though I’ll never
feel it again.
