Who Did You Meet Today

She remembers my name I saw her in the elevator today As we were walking out the door She said goodbye and said my name It shocked me Because I didn't think she knows me We used to work downtown in the same building, she said We are here in this building though still with the same organization I saw her a few times in this new building But just didn't take the time to know who she is She seems like a sweet girl with a good heart Why didn't I try to get to know her better? We could have been good friends At least know her name and say hello We go through life like that So full of strangers Never know who is who We never bother to find out who someone is - just passing by - go about our business But someone did bother to find out who we are Enough to remember it after all these years I was so shocked Let alone the gratitude of knowing that Yes, I am important to someone Are you important to someone? Do you want that person to remember you? Then yes, remember them They will return the favor Who did you meet today?
