That was the question i have heard and also the one I once spoke to someone not long ago...and I am quite sure it can't be that easy to get completely erased from human's memory...

My answer is just as simple and short as "I actually don't know why either...".
Do you have any fascination for something or someone?
Is it true that there are lots of things that only when you do have them in hands or your mind, you will realize how to define it correctly ?

I have fascination for works on which my friends and my brother are spending most of their efforts, I love chatting with old people in Old People's Home, and especially also have fascination for you too...i mean the one I love.
Am I using 'fascination's in incorrect sentences ?

Where does fascination come from ?
Why the fascination


Thanks,

I'm fascinated by what's under a girl's shirt.
 
Why, you see that so rarely?:-)
 
Is there a reason why one can't be fascinated by something one sees often?
 
But do you have a reason why you like it ?
Isn't it just flesh ?
 
What can I say? Watching something beautiful engaged in rhythmic motion hypnotizes me. I love the way they taste, too, and the way they conform to the shape of my hand.
