I don't know what I'm doing here
I don't know where I am
The only thing I remember is your face
Smiling sadly at me from above
As I go to speak your name
My breath catches as I cannot remember
Though I feel it right on the tip of my tongue
I know you like I know I need to breathe
But I have no memory of you

Who are you
Why do I know you
Why, can I not remember you
Why does looking in your eyes, bring tears to mine
My heart yearns for a touch that I cannot remember ever feeling
It wells up in my chest like I'm holding in a scream  
As if I am trying to cry out your name in desperation
But I do not know it

You are the most familiar mystery to me
My favorite book I have never read
I know you but I cannot tell you how
The worst of all
is the tears on your face tell a story about us that I have never heard
