I search for familiar faces
among strange names
try to find just one
that looks like the parts of me
I can't place
I wonder where they buried you
does someone still bring flowers
or are you forgotten
has your gravestone
already been replaced
without me visiting once
I told myself I didn't care
but I often think about
how swiftly my mother said
I wouldn't have known you
either way
did you know I was coming
would it have mattered
would I have been the change
that made the difference
