If I Could Remember

Clark Steven Lupton

March 23, 2006



If I could remember

Every pretty girl I’ve seen

I’d scan the images in my head

And print them in a magazine



If I could remember

All those faces I adore

I’d settle for the memories

And not look out for more



If I could remember

All the faces that made me feel good

I’d be loyal and committed

Like I know I should



If I could remember

All the faces that made me do a double-take

I’d be focused on the woman I’d be with

Instead of stealing the glances that I’d make



If I could remember

All those beauties with other guys

I wouldn’t look out for even more girls

With my wandering eyes



If I could remember

The hotties from every club and mall

I’d stay home and write poetry about them

And wouldn’t look out for more at all



The fact of the matter is

Even though beauties are comparatively few

I just can’t seem to remember them

And the next day I’m on the look out for the new
