What Was Your Name?

My head hurts. There is a pounding in my head that will not go away. It hurts just to think, but I must endure. If I can just get past this fog in my head, then maybe things will be different. I can not let it consume me. I can not fall back to the comfort of forgetfulness.

I can't forget you. I mustn't forget...

But it is so difficult. It is so painful. It is so... tiring and I am so, so sleepy.

My eyes are closed and all that surrounds me is darkness. If I were to open my eyes...

Even if I they were open nothing would change. I am blind to my surroundings. I see nothing but darkness.

It is dark.

It is empty.

It is silent.

In this world of mine, only I exist.

No one, nothing will intrude in this dark world of mine. Nothing, no one will take my memories of you.

You are my everything. Without you I do not live.

Without you I do not live. You are my sunshine.

You are my sunshine. My sun.

I can not live without you. I can not. I can not.

I can not live without you. I do not live without you.

I do not live.

Live.

There is something on my hands.

What is it? It is wet, sticky almost. It drips through my fingers. It runs down my arms.

What is this?

My ears are buzzing. What is this noise?

My vision is fuzzy. What is in front of me?

Wait!

Wait. Don't...

Don't leave me. Wait for me!

I can't keep up with you. You can't leave me.

Without you—

Without you.

Without...

Without?

Without what? What was I saying?

Without.

Without.

Without.

Out.

Ow-tu...

Two?

Two. Yes there were two of us.

You and I.

You and I.

You and I. Together.

You...

You.

You?

You. Yes, you.

You are my sunshine.

My sunshine.

My sunshine. My sun.

But what was your name?

I can't seem to remember. What was I trying to recall? A name?

Why would I need a name?

Name.

You...

I... I can't remember.

What was it?

You?

Forget it.

I am too tired.
