“Third room on your left.” That’s the nurse’s dialogue whenever she sees me. Maybe I’m too handsome to be forgotten? Or do I look to old to remember anything?
Her brown eyes’re watery. I recognize them— tears of pity. Though I am not sure if those are for you, or for me. They’re for us, maybe.
Weird as it may sound, I am glad we can still share something. Something that still belongs to us. Even if they’re salty tears.
‘Cause our memories are now solely mine. Your complex brain has long abandoned them. Even my name was left forgotten.
