Old friend, pastiche of the norm
I remember you well
Wish we kept speaking more
Saw your message; submit to the blue-grey swell
Why departed, anger at myself
Rather forlorn at what's become
Inevitable: gone adrift
But to imagine that I forgot you
Roughly said goodbye
But so easily could've said hello
I apologize, simply caught with time
My own dreams and sorrow
But so did all, and yet it was you I failed
How many others let slip from heart's seams
How do I begin to repair
Piling of the sand so high
I can barely see your side
Canyons too wide for words to sew
You're a different person
Alien to me, yet your face is in my memory
Your message brings fear
A specter talked to me
I'm the murderer
Conviction based on failure to remember thee
My forgotten friend
