how to fall in love--
to wish for promises,
to lean on shoulders.
I may have forgotten
how to fall in love
with hopeful smiles
on handsome faces,
with gentle hands
and warm embraces.
I may have forgotten
how to play pretend--
that maybe you do love me
(How unlikely.)
that maybe I could love you
(If you asked me to.)
I may have forgotten
how to look away
to throw myself headlong
to hold my breath and plunge
to another point of no return
to convince myself of you
that maybe you
an eternity of you
would be worth remembering.
