My worst nightmare and your greatest fear became a reality: You don’t remember me. You don’t remember the accident or the weeks afterward.

Three sugars, two creamers. Perhaps an acquaintance is all I’ll ever be to you now. Maybe I can shoulder the heartbreak and the loss of you, if it means you’ll be happy. Unless...you remember me when.
