You Remind Me

 

Our eyes meet

And again I’m lost

How do you do it?

Just a smile and I’m tossed

 

You remind me

Of younger days

When the pull was strong

Of a woman’s charming ways

 

Yes, I’ve been in love before

Danced among the stars

Even had my heart broken

Decorated with scars

 

But that was long ago

My heart now all mended

Forget all the heartaches

Of past loves that ended

 

I look to the sunrise

For bright new days

To live a happy life

In a positive way

 

So please pardon me

When you catch my stare

I might seem hypnotized

In that brief moment we share

 

A feeling I’d thought forgotten

Concentration broken

My attention derailed

An attraction unspoken

 

You remind me

That I too can be lonely

Wanting to belong to another

Their one and only
