Never Your Nemesis

I'm your villain, And I guess that's okay. You might never understand How much I looked up to you. You probably can't understand Why I don't remember your name. It doesn't matter. I didn't get to choose my faults, my neurodivergence. You thought that because I could read a book I could read a person. The truth is, I thought of us as almost the same. I thought of you as brilliant. I'll never understand How you could make me feel so inspired While cringing at my disruptive behavior. It hurts, believe it or not, That I have known you for decades, And I can't remember your name. It hurts that I see your face Hear your voice I think of you as good, smart, and kind But I can't remember your name, You brilliant, beautiful soul. So I guess I better be okay Just being your villain.
