I only

remember you now

in flashes

strong hints

of regret

the loving

any kindnesses

have evaporated

like ideas

on just how

we lived got by

you were a lost girl

hand in mine

looking for a future

a way out

from where you’d been

& I too was lost then

looking for new

just a few seconds

occasionally

maybe a minute

ahead of you

two lost souls

looking for something

neither found

in each other

I hope you found

somebody something

made you a future
