Someday When You Remember

goodbye and hello

I remember you from before we met
Near November across from April or
December on a distant shore and yet

Both future and past form connections here
Where here can only be descibed as now
Which cannot be described while happening

But not knowing why at least I know how
Two parted make one part of everything
A sum of which one part might be regret

I might see you again some other year
Older and wiser or else maybe not
But one thing we do not do is forget

And if out of pride we say we forgot
Then you will know to come back when you go
To warm the here of now till it gets hot

When you are ready then we both will know
That we were well worth waiting for daresay
Remember me then when you go away

Because you might not see me anymore
But in the gallery of memory
I hope you find what you were looking for

Someday when you remember it was me
