Man With a Memory

sitting beside her,
he senses a void he knows he'll never fill,
a memory that was lost,
long ago when her life began,
a man with a memory,
one he can't quite see,
one he barely remembers,
but hold so dear,
what could this memory be?
this secret he hides inside, 
how can she just sit there,
empty and forgetting even more,
loosing all the memories,
longing for one last word,
one trace of this memory,
but this man with a memory,
keeps his memory inside,
letting this child beside him,
fade into the worlds eyes,
