You Remind Me ( Part 2 )

No I will not forget, Because you are always there And you are following me all year, Holding on to decorations on Christmas trees in December, Bubbling in my champagne glass All new year’s eve, Wrapped around my neck like A purple scarf that chokes me in winter, Hurting me until I burn, Slithering beneath my tan in summer. You are always there. In little pop-up adds, And in faces of people who Have your haircut and Look like you from behind. You are always there. In the disappointed faces of Waiters left without a tip, And in the gaps between The teeth of six year old’s Naïve smiles. In the eyes of the blonde Hero of my cheesy Thursday-night Romance comedy, In the words behind the words Above and below the words, And right between the lines. You are always there. When I try to read my way Into oblivion. You are always there. No, I will not forget. I never will, And sweet darling, That is my promise to you.
