Memorizing

I know the shape of your name in my mouth

And the way your heart looks on your sleeve.

I know where you like to holiday and exactly

The kind of candies that make you light up.

I have sat next to you on plane rides and taxis,

Laughed at all the offhand jokes your kids made.

I know the legacy you want to leave and I've even

Gone as far as laying a few of those bricks myself.

So why is it when the time came to take a picture,

You so easily forgot that I was someone you knew?
