she woke up to
find herself in
bed, next to a boy,
around her age.
she frowned slightly
and she wondered,
who was he?
when the boy came
to realise that she had
woken up, he threw
his arms around her
and cried with joy.
the girl felt trapped
and confused about
who he was and as
to why she was here,
when a few minutes
ago she was at home
helping her little sister
do her homework.
so she took a deep breath,
and turned to him and
said,
"who are you?"
the boy's cries of joy
stopped and he stared
at her in shock. his
lower lip trembled as
he frowned.
"you don't remember me?" he asked,
desperately looking into
her eyes for any hints of
recognition but there were
none, her eyes just looked
foggy and lost.
this time, she started to
lose her stability and
repeated, once again,
"who are you?"
the boy looked down at his
hands and covered his face
while rocking himself
forward and backward on
his chair, sobbing, crying
that he had lost her.
"who are you?"
