Do you remember when we met? (It seems so long ago). Our eyes met in that crowded hall (someone I had to know). I longed to have you in my life (my friends all told me 'no'). It wasn't long until we kissed (you took me by surprise). I lost my heart and lost control (when gazing in your eyes). I loved you then, and want you still (but hate your constant lies). I always choose the hurting kind (and I was badly burned) - you'd think by now I'd get it right (still lessons to be learned). You play the game of love for fun (I knew when I was spurned). written 2nd July 2019 for Team Poetry Soup's Love Poems for Her contest
