*Remember*

.
Step
Step
Footsteps sounding
Down the hall

Click
Click
Click

Idle chatter
Bouncing 'round
Ground below
Sky above
Normal day
Nothing new

A face
A smile
Familiar
How?
A certain something
What is it?

Tug
Tug
Tugs at the mind

Stop

Wait

I remember!

I know!

The face!
The eyes!
Your smile!

All.
All comes rushing back
A flood of memories
Cascade of scenes
Scenes of you
Just as you are
Just as you were

A lock
The file of my memory
Locked tight
Closed shut
All entrance barred

Months of prying
Months of work
Day by day
Tighter still
The trickle
Down
To
Nothing.

And suddenly..

Suddenly,
I remember!
The light,
The sounds,
The scenery..
Nothing new,
Nothing changed.

What unlocked my mind?
What became the key?

I don't know.

I don't care.

But I remember you.
