February 2024 Paper Poetry
If You Don't Mind
Sincerely, you know who
If you don't mind,
could you gimme back
all those kisses I gave you?
If you're not using,
could you return me
all those infatuated glances?
If you don't want them,
could you rub on me
all the caresses your skin has gotten?
If you don't wonder,
could you dream back to me
all those dreams I shared with you?
If you don't yearn,
could you grant me
all the wishes I wished for us?
If you don't remember,
could you track back
all those moments we lived?
If you don't feel it anymore,
could you send my way
all the love I bathed you with?
Sincerely, You know Who
