Memories

Can you tell me who you are if I don’t seem to know?
I may pass by with no regard if you just let me go
Though everyone is different you all could look the same
I may not recall your face though well I know your name

For to me it is as if I’ve not seen you before
Though through your voice and actions I may recall some more
Sometimes it seems as if I’m lost, in space, or time perhaps
In unfamiliarity, an existential lapse

Oft times I find I can recall a lot of what has gone
Some memories are crystal clear, some faintly linger on
But there are some I haven’t made, those I’ve not merely missed
They are not ones that I forgot, they never did exist

I am not sure of anything, of what I hear or see
I have to check, to verify it’s what it seems to be
And so I question everything that I am witness to
Did it happen as I thought? Or did I dream that too?
