I wish I could recall the details

but they have faded away 

 

it is an idea that I recall 

without specifics

 

It is a movie I saw several years ago 

that had actors I can see the faces of 

but cannot remember their names 

 

lyrics to a song that I can sing from memory

but lack the title or the name of the band:

those type of things

 

I think we were at a friend's house

or  at a restaurant or on campus

on a bench

 

It was probably in the morning

but could have been late afternoon

with shadows creating just the right mood

 

Does it matter where I told you?


She asked later, stating the obvious because

it was clear I didn't grasp it.  yet.

 

No, I said,  

no it doesn't.

 

The only thing that mattered is that it happened and 

that it only mattered to one of us.
