A New Life

His eyes were cold and lifeless as he stared at me. “You have no idea who I am, do you?”

My heart raced, I wanted to hug him, I wanted to tell him that eventually I would remember us. I desperately wanted to press my coffee stained lips against his just to see if anything would come back, but I knew it would only hurt him. I knew that any physical affection would just be a false hope. I would never remember us. I wouldn’t cry over a relationship that had, in essence, never happened. So I did the one thing that could possibly save him. I shook my head, and let him go. I saw a single tear escape his eye as he turned from me, and walked down the street. I watched as he disappeared into the bustling city, a man I once knew, but would never remember. A sigh slipped from my mouth, it was time to start my new life.
