Just Be Kind
Your face is not familiar
but please. just be kind.
I know that I should know you
but there's a problem with my mind.
I see the photos you brought me.
pictures of me and you
and so I believe you when you say
you're someone that I knew.
But those are pictures, not memories.
You're still a stranger to me.
I have these memory lapses.
I wish that you could see.
I would love to hug and greet you
like the old friend you must be.
When I see the hope in your eyes,
it really saddens me.
My world gets smaller every day
as less and less remains.
Please don't look so sad.
I didn't mean to cause you pain.
I love the photos that you brought,
I love the stories you tell.
But my memories have all but gone
and I'm in this living hell.
Your face is not familiar
so please, just be kind.
I know that I should know you
but there's a problem with my mind.
