Sometimes I forget you.
The face staring back.
I know I shouldn't.
But I do.
But there you are.
No,
There I am.
I don't understand.
Nothing here
Works the way
It should.
And it's fine.
This is me.
But sometimes I forget.
I forget how to act.
I forget how to talk.
I forget.
Until you chastise me.
Then I know
The face in the mirror.
And it is nothing short
Of disappointing.
But you leave.
And sometimes.
Sometimes.
I forget it all.
And everything is fine.
As good as
It will ever be.
Until I remember you.
The face in the mirror.
I don't know you.
Because I forget.
Just for a moment,
I forget.
