Your Face - Treehouses

How many people can we remember?

How many faces can I register in my retina before I forget one?

828 days ago, I met someone

Saw someone

Saw her

Her face is in my head every second of everyday

Every night before I go to sleep, every morning when my eyes first taste the

light

She is there

Not one word has been spoken between us, but I will never forget her face

Her lips, her eyes

I wonder if she remembers mine

Between now and then, I have met 1473 people

Each of their faces I remember but not as well as I remember hers

Each of their faces I instantly scan against hers in my mind in case she has

changed even slightly but it’s never her

People’s faces blur like droplets as I pass

Looking but not seeing the images

I wonder how many people she has met

I wonder if she still has room for my face

Or if she ever did

Or if she ever did
