The Invisible Man I noticed the very moment, You walked thought the door, You look so familiar, Have we met somewhere before? I promise you this isn't, Just another pick-up line, I’m honest and sincere, With these questions of mine. I recognize the voice, And I remember your face, I’m certain that we've met, Some other time some other place, Tell me if you will, What is your name? I wish I could recall, But things aren't the same. Time it does go by, So very, very fast, Tell me when was it, We saw each other last? Seems like a lifetime, Has it really been that long? What have I been doing, Where could I have gone? You’re so happy to see me, I don’t understand why, I can’t get a clear image, No matter how I try. You remember in detail, The day we first met, You swear that it’s something, You never will forget. I must have meant a lot to you, For you to actually keep, The memories of that day, Buried in your heart so deep. I wish I could remember, the times that we shared, Sounds like we were close, Seems like you really cared. You really seem to know, All I used to be about, Will you tell me about myself, And help me sort it out? Seems like you honestly knew, Who I was in the past, Sometimes I recall, But the memories never last. Tell me old stories, Of how things once were, Before I got lost, And my past became a blur. Please tell me about everything, The good and the bad, Before my mind lost focus, And erased the life I had. How have I been? It’s really difficult to say, Seems like I’m always doing, Something new every day. You remember a man, Who lived long ago, But I’m not the person, You think that you know. I don’t know who to trust, Who’s fake or who’s real, I don’t know what to think, What to say or to feel. The memories I have, Seem to quickly come and go. I try very hard, Not to let my confusion show. I would love to stay here and chat, About all the good times we had, But I know nothing about our history, Or those times you miss so bad. Fragments of my past, Show up now and then, But that’s just not enough, For me to let you in. It was really nice to meet you, Or perhaps see you once more, I must be moving on, Though I've forgotten what for. The good old days are gone, And no more can be made, For they too wouldn't last, And would soon start to fade. I really have to leave now, I hate breaking your heart, I’m sorry my forgotten memories, Are tearing you apart. Hold on to the friend, You've cherished this way, Maybe I can come back, And replace him some day. Karin Thacker 5-14-2012 |
