admitting me

the fake plastered ceiling was tarnishing
and the stale sheets were heavy
"how long was i asleep?"
i blinked .. waiting  for a sign. 
a stranger rolls over and kisses my cheek
climbing over me and into his armoire
i watch him move. like a giraffe. 
one legs up and through.. then the other.
"have time to stay over for breakfast?"
i nod with a smile, sweetly .. 
rolling over to give his side of the sheets a squeeze
inhaling... nothing. 
it had happened. 
my most dreadful fear.
i'd forgotten who i was
