Wait A Second

you always tell
me to wait a second
because there is
something that
you forget and you
want to remember
it again
it is only when we
talk
when you remember
it is only when we
see each other
again
that you begin to
forget
and when i am gone
you say
yes you remember
and tell me
with a sense of cruelty
that it is not you
that it is not me
but someone else
someone so far away
hidden by the
blanket of time
something that you have
yet to understand
because in a second
as i wait
you again forget

we have become old
we are not perfect we are
not eternal
do not forget
we are just human
