My love,
I plan to forget you
Little by little,
Gently unwillingly,
Starting with that smile
That smile on your face
Every time our eyes meet
Indecisively sweet
Cautiously seeking
an approval
Distantly within.
Next is your nose.
How it touches mine
As your head nods
Between our cheeks
Moist air lingers
At the intersection
Of time before time.
Us, before reality.
I would also like to forget
Everything about your arms
How strong and how soft they are
Holding me together,
Bits and pieces,
And for once,
I could give everything,
And still have everything.
Last, I would like to forget this plan
This plan to know you,
To want you,
To love you,
Little by little,
Starting with that smile…
