Just Be Kind

Your face is not familiar but please. just be kind. I know that I should know you but there's a problem with my mind. I see the photos you brought me. pictures of me and you and so I believe you when you say you're someone that I knew. But those are pictures, not memories. You're still a stranger to me. I have these memory lapses. I wish that you could see. I would love to hug and greet you like the old friend you must be. When I see the hope in your eyes, it really saddens me. My world gets smaller every day as less and less remains. Please don't look so sad. I didn't mean to cause you pain. I love the photos that you brought, I love the stories you tell. But my memories have all but gone and I'm in this living hell. Your face is not familiar so please, just be kind. I know that I should know you but there's a problem with my mind.
