How many people can we remember?
How many faces can I register in my retina before I forget one?
828 days ago, I met someone
Saw someone
Saw her
Her face is in my head every second of everyday
Every night before I go to sleep, every morning when my eyes first taste the light
She is there
Not one word has been spoken between us, but I will never forget her face
Her lips, her eyes
I wonder if she remembers mine
Between now and then, I have met 1473 people
Each of their faces I remember but not as well as I remember hers
Each of their faces I instantly scan against hers in my mind in case she has changed even slightly but it's never her
People's faces blur like droplets as I pa**
Looking but not seeing the images
I wonder how many people she has met
I wonder if she still has room for my face
Or if she ever did
Or if she ever did
