WISH I COULD FORGET

Don’t want to start remembering
Wish I could just forget
The first time that I saw you
The night …. when we first met.

Filled with longing and emotion
Consumed with pure desire
The power of such passion
My heart was set on fire.

You came over … started talking
I fell hard for your sweet charm
I felt so weak …so damn naive
So shamefully dis-armed.

Unable to think clearly
You got inside my head
Wish I had known better
And stayed home that night …. instead.

Defenseless ….. suddenly unhinged
Couldn’t keep my head on straight
My thoughts and feelings scrambled
By this time, it was too late.

Should have never… had that second drink
I let you get to me
You took my hand…. then whispered
“Come home, come home with me.”
