i'm sorry but i don't remember you,
all these things your saying....
i'm sorry but i don't remember you....
i recognize the tone of your voice,
that's emotion, right?
yes i know that.
but i'm sorry,
i don't remember you.
don't touch me there, i can feel it.
it doesn't feel the same.
i don't know the same and i don't know you.
yes i can see finger prints all over your heart,
but i don't know that they are mine.
yes i see smile lines on my face,
but i don't remember that you put them there.
yes i felt the air lighten when you came in,
but i don't know that it is because of you.
i don't remember you.
i'm sorry.
please stop looking at me like that.
it is too intimate and i don't know you that way,
or at all.
i am not in denial,
i just don't remember you.
surely if we were in love like you say,
it should stand the test of anything.
answer me this, why can't i remember!?!
please, i need to be myself right now,
whoever myself is.
i don't remember you

she runs through her mind quickly!
searching from room to room for a sound,
a picture,
a smell,
pain,
peace,
anything.
finally she stops,
places her hand on where he had touched her.
she had lied.
she felt something.
but she couldn't have confessed this to a stranger.
she couldn't have told him that she had felt peace when he touched her,
warm,
awake,
light,
peace.
she couldn't have.
how could she...

she didn't remember
