there are moments
in this lifetime
when I drift away
lost
in the sea
of forgetfulness
forgetting
Some Day by Sowol Kim
If you should call me some day
I would say: “I’ve forgotten about you.”
If you should reproach me–
“I’ve missed you much and had to give up.”
If you should reproach me again–
“I’ve forgotten because I cannot trust you anymore.”
Day after day I’ve been thinking about you
until some day I will say: “I’ve forgotten.”
