The sound of your voice
still makes my heart stop
the way it used to.

Seeing your face
still fills me with longing
the way it used to.

Hearing your name
still makes me tingle
the way it used to.

Thinking about you
still makes my palms sweat
the way it used to.

Everything about you
is the same
except now
I can't have you.

A former teacher loves reading her talented student's writing. Indeed, her student is clever as ever. Love the title... and the repetition... and the twist at the end. Keep writing :)
