That's me...there
In front of your eyes
A face in a window
Of a departing bus
A face you never saw before
Or since...

Or did you?

Maybe I crossed
Your line of vision
Before

But what if I did?
You don't remember me
You didn't recognise me today
And that's what I will remember

But what of you?
What will you remember?
Where are your thoughts now
As you walk through your front door?
Will you remember me?

I will remember you...
Even though I don't remember
Seeing you before
And should I see you again
I won't recognise you

But as long as my words live
So will my memory of you

This attempt to capture
The beauty I saw for those few seconds
Is unworthy I know...

But at least I did not forget
