is it a sin
if i still think
of someone who left me
if i learn from hurting
yet make a fool of myself once more
actually, i don't know
maybe i just miss
his kisses
how they stained like a tattoo
that i'd secretly wear
under my shirt
maybe it's his smile
that i kept seeing
on someone else's
or his scent
a stranger's
that felt like home
more than mine did
or maybe
for some profound reason
i still love him
without explanation
that before and after the loving
i still have no answer
when he asked me two years ago
'why do you love me?'
but it could be that
all this won't matter
when another one comes
and the question
might even be left unanswered
but for now
i will let this feeling be
because as with a lover
it's not everyday
that you fall in love
with a heartbreaker
