Sometimes I Forget

There have been moments

Many of them

In my life

I’ve forgotten

I’m a woman.

Forgotten

How it feels

To be wanted

Loved

Touched

Embraced.

 

There are times

While at work

Or home cleaning

I forget for a little while

How I need.

Need to be held closely

Need to be told I’m beautiful

Need to be kissed so softly.

 

There were times

In my life

I wish there were someone

Somewhere

That could make me

Feel like a woman again.
