Treehouses - Your Face

how many people can we remember
how many faces can i register in my retina before i forget one
828 days ago i met someone
saw someone
saw her
her face is in my head every second of ever day
every night before i go to sleep
every morning when my eyes first taste the light
she is there
not one word has been spoken between us
but i will never forget her face
her lips, her eyes

i wonder if she remembers mine

between now and then i have met 1473 people
each of their faces i remember but not as well as i remember hers
each of their faces i instantly scan against hers in my mind in case she has changed even slightly but it's never her
people's faces blur like droplets as i pass
looking but not seeing the images
i wonder how many people she has met
i wonder if she still has room for my face
or if she ever did

or if she ever did
