What I Forgot. {A Love Poem} ~ Melissa Mirabai Zeligman

I forgot the other part of being a woman
I forgot that we were meant to be partners.
I forgot how important that is to the world.
That our union creates a chemistry that heals.
That the love between us provides us each
the elixir to the fuel our unique passions and dreams.

I forgot I could be strong for you, tender for you,
that I could adore you and love you
I forgot that all you wanted was to be my hero
And have me feel safe and adored and loved.
I forgot I forgot I forgot.

I forgot how I would melt from your touch.
I forgot to tell you how amazing you are.
I forgot about the kiss.
I forgot about your breath on the back of my neck.
I forgot what it felt like to miss you, to long for you.
I forgot how sweet the moment was when
the longing ceased.
