Pitch-black and silent; another two am asylum. And I found myself reaching for another tube of toothpaste only to pray it didn't taste like you. Yet a sigh of relief was matched with a sigh of despair as I came to the realization that I was losing my grip on a lot of things about us. Even if I tried, I wouldn't be able to remember most of our defining angles and edges that were once so sharp. So I scoured the stars this late at night only to lose touch with gravity and to hear my mind yelling back through the void, *"you should have known,                        you should have known."* They say smell is the closest sense to memory, but I was so sure that after all this time the taste buds on my tongue could still decipher the fibres from your mint mouth. But in that moment, I couldn't remember that you had already forgotten about me before the sun even set. gd
