I Did Know Your Name, Once
Hey
Do I know her?
She looks familiar
Maybe I did
Hey
Do I know you?
You look familiar
But you don't think so
I remember now
I remember you, that time
We sat in class together
We were always sitting together
But no, you say no
I don't know your face
You are mistaken
Yet I try again
I remember now
I remember us, you were
My very best friend
We were always around each other
You shake your head
I excuse myself
Turning away
In part because of shame
Because I did know your name, once
but I forgot, and now
I wonder, because
You did know my name once, too
