I Wish I Could Forget You
A poem from 'The Summer of Longing' (2025).
Reds, blues,
thinking of you.
Your smile, your face,
my heart must undertake.
Imperfections, your own actions,
not mislead yet caused a reaction
of lust, love or loss.
A feeling that I cannot simply describe.
Thus,
I wish I could forget you,
as memories do not fade
as fast as your temporary tattoo.
From my debut poetry collection, The Summer of Longing: A Poetry Collection on Unrequited Love.
