Do I Know You?

Hello there, don’t I know you, you seem like your vaguely familiar; right, I remember meeting you, I believe it was in late December.

Im trying to put my finger on it, Im embarrassed I forgot your name; if you’ll give me one more minute, I’m sure it will come to me, I’m so ashamed.

Searching in your face, your look I’ve seen before; give me one more clue, this time I’ll know for sure.

Damn my mind can’t place you, but this feeling is so real; when I figure it out you’ll be the first one that I tell.

Well goodbye for now, I hope we meet again; until then I wish you well, and I hope we’ll soon be good friends.

As I walked away, it finally came to me, that person I could not remember is my blood, a part of my own family.

How could I have forgot, then I remembered our family feud, feeling now a sadness, it was never because of me or you.

In time I’ll give you a call to see how things have been; let’s try not to lose touch this time because of someone else’s sins.
