Love lost

Here's another love poem, but this time with more than a tinge of regret rather than the usual bitter tirade...

Now

Do you prefer it now

or the memory of it later

you asked me

I didn’t answer

I didn’t know

I couldn’t remember from before

I can tell you now

I prefer now

as it was then

But I didn’t know

and so

I forgot to finger all of you
