One
Day
You're here
And it's hard...
Remarkably so –
To remember that was before.
It feels just like yesterday...but it's not anymore.
I still think it can be you – a stranger on the sidewalk or someone on the subway;
But it can never be you again. When will I stop doing a double take? When will that split second of hope cease to exist – just like you...
