Who?

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
