Residual Emotions

Why do I fall apart at the mention of your name,
Come unglued by remembering your touch,
Melt into a lovesick girly puddle as you walk by?

These feelings must stop this moment,
Afraid that they'll never be hidden if left loose,
And run rampant through my everyday thoughts.

Why do I allow myself to be struck by your presence,
In awe of how much I admire you as a person,
Wishing I could embrace the man that you have become?

These feelings must stop this moment,
Allowing them freedom to renew and fester again
Will only make the separation harder the second time around.

Why do I still have these urges and attractions,
Needing you to caress my cheek when I smile,
Wanting a single kiss that I never got at the end?

These feelings must stop this moment,
Not wanting to hurt any more or ever again,
But can't see a better person to suffer them from but you.
