Now...I remember...

Now...
I remember... 
Standing outside your door...
Worried that I might be hurried away...
I can’t even remember what it was you left behind in my car...
Who cares...
It gave me an excuse to see you again...

Now...
I still remember your housecoat...
And those ridiculous slippers...
I don’t know what you were thinking...
But I must have been thinking the same thing...
Your hands caressed my face and instantaneously...
I felt warm lips on mine...

Now...
It doesn’t happen often...
But with you...
More often than not I'm left speechless...
Hummm.... What was it that you left behind...??

Now...
I can recall...
Asking why you wouldn’t go out with me...
Sitting across from you thinking you’re breaking up with me
Whilst wearing masks eating peanut butter pie and 
Drinking Spanish lattes, at the ball...
But for the life of me...
I can’t recollect what you left behind...

Now...
Whatever it was...
Even with the pain...
Even with the struggle and tears...
I'd do it again...In a heartbeat.

Now...
I remember....
