The Unforgettable Lover
A face I thought I’d never forget
Has faded into darkness
Throughout the days.
Your shaved beard
That I don’t know any longer
As well as your hair
So perfectly combed.
I’ve forgotten the shape
Of your face,
How you put your clothes on,
The smell of your breath
That I so deeply enjoyed,
The sound of your voice
That I’d never recognize again
In sad silly songs about me.
Our love that I so naively thought
Would never vanish;
And so it has.
And so it has at last.
