I could push you into the back of my head
I remember when
i became I
and when
You became you
and when everything began to settle
and when everything began to brighten
and yet
I remember when
i could feel thoughts rushing back
i remember when
i watched evanescent memories become less evanescent
i remember when
i sensed the pain flooding my brain
i remember when,
despite fighting to stop it,
i had a bittersweet light in my heart
the feeling of
hoping on,
believing on,
counting on,
You.
