Know You No More

I could read you like a book,
Letter by letter.
I knew you by heart,
Your every scrap of thought .
We were inseparable,
Saw each other everyday.

But then I left.
I didn't have the choice;
And don't tell me we always have the choice;
We don't always have the choice.

When I came back
I saw you,
But didn't recognize you.
I knew you,
But didn't know you.

At least
Not anymore.
