Passion
Thinking about you for the tenth time today
Reminiscing the feel of your hand
When it touches mine
Creating a whirlwind of breathlessness
The breath lost is mine
Thinking about the cadence of your voice
As it rises and falls with every question,
Every whisper that touches these ear of mine
I feel all sorts of emotions
My brain thinks about you all night
Thinking about the first time you told me you loved me
The playful seriousness in your eyes
That moment that left me mesmerized
And I knew you meant it
I knew with all my heart
Thinking about the time you hurt me
With that other girl
You stunned me
I was left speechless and surprised
That those hands that held me could hold another
That those lips that kissed me could kiss another
That those words you told me could be told to another
I told myself why even bother
I could just as easily find another
But here I am
Thinking about you for the tenth time today
Maybe this is my fate
Why even bother
Maybe I'm supposed to love you while you love another
