yes, I remember you,
and the day my friend
told me about you.

but I don't know
if I ever really knew you.

a memory between us?
oh Lord,
is there even one single memory
between just us?
seems you recycle them.

describe you:
predictable,
closed,
empty,
cold.

we would not
spend a day together.

one thing I don't like?
the way you treat her
so much like you treated me.

one thing I do like?
I don't know.

give you a gift?
it would be self-awareness.

I guess I'm just fighting myself.

I wish I had not touched you at all.

it is unfortunate I wasted tears on you.

I think it's pretty embarrassing
to constantly press
the repeat buttons
on your emotions,
don't you?

I don't see you;

I don't hear you;

and I hope I will not for a long time.

what would I like to say?
well, I'm saying it all right now.

what would I recommend?
get to know people for who they really are.
they are not all the same,
and you shouldn't treat them that way.

just listen to yourself.

we once sang together,
"don't you forget about me,"
but I'm trying very hard to.
