Forgetting You

FORGETTING YOU
Too much of you is everywhere,
the hope of life, the wish, the dare,
and part of many things I see
resemble all you've been to me,
though you are never there.

I saw your smile again, today,
and heard your laugh in childhood play,
but looking for you is a sin
you are somewhere I've never been,
and it's so very far away.

Reminders of you come and go
in peoples faces I don't know,
they all remind me some of you,
in some sweet something they will do,
or maybe just what they won't show.

Forgetting you; another sin;
I've loved you once, and shall again,
I'll fall again, into your eyes,
before I even realize,
I've loved you since I don't know when.
