and then...

did she remember what she said to who and when
and what she hoped to achieve when the story ends

did he remember what she said when the night was dead
and how she refused to let him get into her head

in the cacophony of confessions concealed and desires denied
surely the silence spoke of something

secret glances
second chances
cutting corners

stolen kisses

did they remember the simplicity that started it all
did they remember, mr bartender?

did you really expect them to recall
while nursing a throbbing hangover?
