Here We Go Again

You’re beautiful
Stunning even.
My focus has gotten worse
But your words keep me intrigued
Like a book I can’t put down.

I could learn so much about you.
While barely even speaking.
I prefer it that way.
To save my words for my pen
And maybe one day I’ll show you 

I miss being vulnerable
When I turn myself inside out
And am still shown love
Without any doubt.

But it has been a while
And not from a lack of chances.
Short fling after short fling
Has me hoping for the best
But expecting the worst

I feel I am cursed
By being a hopeless romantic

So when I look at you
My heart still skips a beat
But it’s ready.
Prepared for another ephemeral
And I’ll think to myself
Here we go again
