Actually I Have Nothing To Say To You Poem by RIC BASTASA

so we meet again and you are seated
next to me
by chance our eyes meet and we remember the times
when once we were together
we were not lovers
we may think we were friends we ate together till the night comes
we drank on the same glass
of wine when our heads began to fly bubbles in the air

you ask me if i remember
how can i forget? it is you and it is always me still
by chance we meet again and
our eyes meet like the headlights
of two cars colliding one dark night

i still remember
there is nothing that hurts that always last
i still remember and i know you also remember
the screeching on the streets and the marks of shocked tires
we do not like to remember that which hurt us both
you have nothing to say and actually to be honest and

blatant about this meeting by chance
i have nothing to say but i could have told you i want simply to forget

you but i can't
forget you and erase you
you always leave this mark that i cannot just hate and believe

that you do not exist at all
