Somebody posted your obit and The name seemed familiar. Then others followed with how they missed you. Turns out we went to school together. And I can't remember your face Or when we spoke to each other Or the last time I saw you. We lived lives with no intersection And not even a remembrance even though We went side by side through times That made us who we are. I like to think we were friendly, But how could that be? I would have remembered you face when they told me And I remember nothing except your name was familiar. So why do I feel a loss?

The Equivocal Loss
Somebody posted your obit and The name seemed familiar. Then others followed with how they missed you. Turns out we went to school together. And I can't remember your face Or when we spoke to each other Or the last time I saw you. We lived lives with no intersection And not even a remembrance even though We went side by side through times That made us who we are. I like to think we were friendly, But how could that be? I would have remembered you face when they told me And I remember nothing except your name was familiar. So why do I feel a loss?
