Memory

When you left, did I hear your footsteps?
I rack my memories to give me a hint. 

Running, sleeping, working, I see bits of you and me everywhere.  The song that brought me to you, temple bells, hot coffee, pens and papers never used.

In your arms, was I so much in awe of the lilting flavors of lust,
That I was blind to the the bright-orange flames of parting?

Perhaps I knew that if I turned to see, 
You would be looking at a road that was not mine

They say perception is but interwoven memories
If my reality is a memory, can we build memories to create truth? 

When I trace your footsteps, will I find you?
Or was the you that I knew another's memory?
