I don’t know why… but you feel familiar. Some days, I remember you clearly—your voice, your smile, the way you used to stay by my side like you were never going to leave. On those days, I feel warm around you, like I’ve known you forever. Like I’ve loved you longer than I can remember. But other days… everything is gone. You become a stranger to me. Someone I should not know, and yet I still find myself looking at you longer than I should. Listening to you more than I need to. Feeling something I can’t explain. They say my memory doesn’t hold on the way it should. After the accident, pieces of my life just… disappear. But you never feel like a missing piece. You feel like something I keep finding again and again. So tell me… Why do I feel like I’m losing you every time I forget you?
