Remembrance

Flushed cheeks,
racing pulse
and shallow breath

All these,
physical symptoms of love
I have forgotten

To see someone
and be overcome
with sudden,
intense emotion

A breathless reaction
of excitement
and pure innocence

Eyes connect:
a startled stare
of wonder & desire

It’s been so long,
they all seem
utterly foreign
to me now

I’m learning
all over again
how to fall in love.

Is it even possible?

I just don’t know anymore…
