A different you…

I forgot I didn’t know you
That I knew you
But I no longer know you

I forgot how old you are
And how old I need to think
Regardless of how young I feel
In loving you

I forgot your coldness
How the darkness inside you
Can turn your brown eyes black

I forgot that it takes two
That you are a gentleman
in the coming of adversity
and selfishly coldhearted
when the storm settles in

But in forgetting us
and forgetting you
I remembered me
And all the pieces I knew to be you
Useless in function without you
I remembered originally belonged to me

It’s too bad that you forgot
What it took to be us
What it meant to be us
and I will no longer remind you
