I linger, lost in your eyes.
My mind cannot escape the memories
which cling to me like spider webs
that drape across doorways of long empty rooms.
Your voice, last heard so long ago,
still reverberates in my thoughts
as if I spoke with you only yesterday.
I wonder, do you think of me still?
Do your thoughts ever turn to me?
Do you remember the time we had,
think about what might have been?
Have I ever slipped inside your dreams,
the way you have mine?
What would you say if you saw me now?
Would you even still want me?
Would the look in your eyes be as hungry?
Would your eyes still intoxicate me?
I can still sense the hold you have over me.
It slinks around on the edge of my thoughts
like a predator stalking it's prey,
waiting for the moment my guard is done,
then striking out at me once more.
I know how easily I could fall back on old behaviors,
return to familiar routines,
ease into the life I once lived.
Would I dare to risk it all for you?
Risk losing all I have for the chance to be once more in your arms?
Take the chance of losing the love I have,
to have the passion, the lust, the desire I found in you?
To lose myself in your eyes,
only to be completely and utterly lost?
