Selective Memory

You have this way of catching my eye 
Of stealing my attention
And the empty space in my mind
You have this way of speeding up my heart
When I want it to be calm

The way you look at me
With that gleam in your eyes
The feel of your touch
Sending shivers down my spine 

You have a way of convincing me
The words you say 
The flattery and the charm 
The excuses and the coverups 
I know the truth
And yet I believe you

You are not mine to hold
Or to kiss or touch
You have another to hold and kiss and touch

I may be wrong
For feeling this way
I may be wrong 
When I think that you feel it too 
I may be wrong
But every time you look at me
I forget
