taps drip water into porcelain sinks
and i am trying to forget you.

the taste of apple cider is bitter on my tongue
and i am trying to forget you.

stormy wind batters the brickwork
and i am trying to forget you.

sunrise glows golden on the concrete
and i am trying to forget you.

i can't forget you.

Around every corner,
I hope to see you.
Not that I will ever speak,
Or you shall ever answer.
But to see you,
Even just a glance,
Fills my heart with flames
And makes my hands shake,
Longing to hold
What was never mine.
