I woke up hastily to a dream I couuldn't remember
(Was it a dream? Lately I have trouble differentiating it from reality) 
I couldn't remember it completely
But the reminiscence of a forgotten face persisted in me.

It tugged at me, making me guilty
For forgetting someone 
I had tried so hard to remember.
And then the tides came crashing.


This exact moment that I'm writing in, this wonderful day of sunshine and gloom, this year of mixed emotions- would I remember it tomorrow?

Or would that too be engulfed by this impatient dreaded villain?
It eats away at itself, quenching its insatiable hunger for more, until nothing remains;

Just like us.
