You’ve officially forgotten.
It’s been four years
since you’ve seen a picture
of my face,
four years since you’ve
needed to,
wanted to,
and I wonder
if it’s been as easy
as you make it look.
I watch for you every day,
still,
even though you are
years and miles and oceans
away,
I hope to see your face
jump out of the masses,
your smile crooked and sweet.
But you’ve forgotten
the taste of my lips,
the timbre of my voice,
even as I revel
in the memory of yours.
~Patience
This is happening to me and someone else and I’m trying to not forget

Oddly enough, I just penned nearly the same thing. It’s going around this Sunday. Beautifully written.
