Jonah G. ‘27
1. Could I have known you? I feel like I once did. I see your face on every sleepless night. It’s been a while since I’ve thought of you, and then, I saw you in a place I don’t remember. 2. Could you have been a friend from childhood? A friend from long ago that I’ve forgotten? One I ran and laughed with many times? That I let go, thinking, not again. 3. I seem to see that you were saying words that I had once remembered every day. And now I can’t remember what they were, if it should be the last day of my life. 4. There are no others that I love so much, but I can’t recall what I once loved. How did we separate so long ago that I have forced your voice from my recall? 5. Could I have known you? I remember now, a few things. People blur like leaves before the storm.
