| I was buying a postage stamp yesterday and as I walked away from the counter a woman said Hi Mike but I didn,t recognise her,maybe she realised because she said she had lost a lot of weight and was proud of it,of course I complimented her,I knew her but couldn,t remember from where,I wanted to carry on the conversation but my recall let me down so I made my escape cursing as I left.When I got home I racked my memory and finally remembered. Throughout our lives we will meet a number of people,be they friends,workmates,lovers,aquaintances.Lately I seem to have bumped into an assortment of the above and with the exception of lovers I have found difficulty in remembering names,now maybe I,m just getting old but being the romantic that I am I like to think there is an alternative reason.Friends,workmates,aquaintances will come and go,years down the line we may or may not remember their names if we meet.Lovers will always be remembered.In the small hours after midnight as we tingle tangle bodies,even though dark we still see the want,need,longing that our eyes portray.The intimacy of those moments is never lost.At those moments we always see a tomorrow in the eyes.Sometimes tomorrow never works out but we always remember the name. |
