Ungrateful

Do you know what you have?
Do you know how lucky you are?
To be able to hold her,
To kiss her,
To touch her,
To have her love you back?
To be able to let her know you love her?
Do you look at her with adoring eyes?
Do you get butterflies in your stomach at the thought of her?
Do you get goosebumps when she's near?
Does your heart skip when she looks at you?
Do you think about her constantly?
Day and night?
Every hour, minute, second?
Can you eat?
Can you sleep?
Do you dream about her?
Fantasize?
Hope that she loves you as much as you love her?
Do you lose hope?
Are you depressed when you're without her?
Angry?
Frustrated?
Do you feel empty without her?
Like your life is not complete?
Like a piece of your heart is missing?
Is your goal everyday to make her smile?
Can her smile change your day from bad to good?
Does her smile light up the room?
Your day?
Your life?
Have you memorized her walk?
The way she trods through life?
Do you love it when she talks?
When she indulges?
Rambles?
Runs off on a tangent?
Do you yearn for her attention?
Does it excite you when she calls your name?
If she gives you anything, do you hold it sacred?
A letter?
A note?
Her picture?
Will you keep it forever?
Do you love the way she parts her hair?
The way she'll brush her bangs back with her hand?
The way her hair rests on her shoulders?
The way it bounces when she walks?
Have you memorized what she wears?
Her dresses, jeans, blouses, shoes, jewlery?
Do you love the way her dresses eccentuate her hips?
Do you keep a journal of every moment you're with her?
Everything she says?
Everything she does?
Your thoughts of her?
Is she the greatest part of your life?
Would you do anything for her?
Would you give up anything for her?
Your money?
Your friends?
Your life?
Will she always own a piece of your heart?
Can you forget her?
