I have forgotten.

What was his name?
It was on the tip of my tongue but it seems to be lost.
I know his face from somewhere long ago.
Perhaps I was but a child.
And old friend?
Can't be, I would have to remember.
Perhaps I have forgotten, it's been so long.
I remember his face, lost in the recess of my fading memory.
He was the ghost of my past
Haunting my present
and haunting me now.
His face, his face, his name.
Forget, forget, forget.
His face is worn by years of worry.
Maybe that's why I can't remember.
I have to remember
Oh he comes closer.
So important! So important!
But the memory cannot be found.
I have forgotten.
