Rewriting Memory

 

I don’t quite recall the trinket, the memento

The ornament we had agreed to exchange

I remember the call from the night before

I recall how overnight everything felt strange

 

I remember the disappointment, the distress

How everything built up so quickly had changed

How in those last few days finding out the truth

Like it had been serendipitously arranged

 

And yet at that last swap we didn’t say a word

The mutual agreement hurt but didn’t burn

As if the rush of it all emotions took note

Another lesson in love and life to learn

 

I remember the hour that didn’t haunt me

Now I just reminisce about those old days

We were so young, we didn’t know what was ahead

We didn’t say a word and went our separate ways
