I Bet You Don't Remember

 By Bruce Clifford

I bet you don't remember when we used to count the stars

I know you couldn't have noticed we would ever get that far

I've tried to count the pieces of this fractured and fragmented view

I know out in the distance there is something to remind me of you 

I bet you don't remember when we would walk thorough the sky

All these simple pleasures of us not understanding why

I've reached for a moment when I knew you could understand my pain

I know there are more examples of us running in the rain

I bet you don't remember how life used to be

All this misdirection gains no primeval sympathy

I know you couldn't have noticed we could ever reach a star

I bet you don't remember how we ever got this far
