I forgot

Were we ever together,
Did we walk through the woods,
Were you next to me,
Was I with you…

I don’t remember…

Were you tall and kind,
Did I dream about your hands,
Did you visit me often,
Did you tickle my cheek with your eyelashes…

I don’t remember…

I do not remember, that you kissed me,
Hid your face in my hair.
I don’t remember Your face.
I don’t know if you liked to dream…

I don’t remember our evenings together… anymore,
The fear of night and the night’s magic.
I don’t remember the color of Your eyes,
Although I see you always… at night…

Written by Regina Kwiatkowska (My Mother) on December 1, 1971
