I Don't Know Who You Are

What are you doing in my grandfather's house?
Dear, I'm your husband.
Get out of this house!
Mom, grandpap's been dead thirty years.
I don't know who you are.
Forty-five years are lost,
Her parents are married,
She's never been,
Her son isn't dead,
Because he never lived.
It's been hard on me,
It's been hard on him,
Her loses never happened,
Yet in some moments, at some times,
It all comes back again.
Mom, it's me.
Well hello there.
How have you been?
I don't know...
And I'm unknown again.
