I keep forgetting how striking you are
How charming and stunning you are

I forget because I tell myself not to look at you
I forget because I don’t want to be longing for -

Your hands around my waist
Your laugh which overshadows my every thought

Your strong arms which once held me tight
Your broad shoulders which sheltered me into reassurance

I say that I keep forgetting,
But I always remember,
The second you take a look in my direction

Even for just a second
I remember it *all
