Oblivion
I do not recall being oblivious to someone
who had to remind me who they were. Even If
I had forgotten, I think that certain links or side
issues would have always brought me back. If
that did not work, I suspect that I might add,
"I'm terribly sorrow that I do not remember,
but I'd love to get to know you".
I am reminded of one incident whereby I had
been completely FORGOTTEN by a person I thought
should have easily remembered me. Instead, I was
OBLIVION, and no number of associations and events
could put that person and myself together again. That,
my friend, is not a good feeling.
In many cases, it would not surprise me to be
cast into OBLIVION, being the kind of person I am.
I am not an outgoing super social kind of person.
But in the above-mentioned case? No. I deserved better.
I don't blame that person for FORGETTING me, and I laughed
it off. Often living in the shadows is the story of my life,
and I've liked it that way.
