Andrew Maz

There are a thousand words
I could say
But they would all be in vain
I know in time
I will forget you

But seeing you only reminds me

For a moment
We were connected
Closer than I dared
In a very long time
And just as quickly
We were apart

I used to lie awake
Wondering
If you ever thought back
To those moments
But when I see you
I know you have not
I am simply a fragment
Maybe even
A mistake

I used to believe
Somehow we’d find a way
Out of this silence
Your eyes tell me otherwise

We all seek ways
To protect ourselves

You chose to forget

I have remembered
