I Couldn't Remember Your Name dots

-------------------------------------------

You walked across the store
And said "My name is John."
I took your hand,
But I couldn't remember your name.

We danced all night at the co-op dinner,
And wrapped gifts together.
We whispered and laughed,
But I still couldn't remember your name.

I brought you a Dylan tee shirt
From the Rolling Thunder Tour.
Nothing for my husband,
But I couldn't remember your name.

When I told you I was leaving
You said, "I'll see you next life around."
I know that I will recognize you,
But will I finally remember your name?

  ok, not to make fun of you, but how the hell do you forget someone's name when they just told you two seconds ago?? actually, wait... never mind, i've done that a few times. just kind of spaced out. my other question is, why didn't you just ask again? i must be missing the point.

well, if someone were to say that to me ("i'll see you next life around"), i would have to wonder... "is this person stalking me from life to life???" i'd be freaked. unless of course, we were supposed to be together and it just took however many lifetimes to realize it. interesting concept. the thought of two people who keep meeting in different lifes... it really makes you think. do soulmates really exist? i have people i feel this way about sometimes, like i've known them forever. maybe i have... (sorry, this was too long for no reason) ...bb...

  Hell, this is still one of my favorite poems on this site,-let alone all the others. My young son brought me KFC from the city today ( I like their macaroni salad, and the peculiar tender sweaty flavor of the wings that everyone else seems to feed to their dogs -but that's a different story and I am not even sure how it ends-so I will just say, I made this poem, by Lynn, a fave today, -and that I am proud to add it to my collection.

How wassat 4 a comment? (being as I already commented and just now had an urge to re-read this and had to find it the hard way.)

Love Ya
Sally

  oh this is light and free and wonderful. have not had exactly the same experience but similar. and I do believe that we remember souls we have met before-even if we don't remember their names. I am quite caught up with someone I know for sure I have known before. but I may not know again, unfortunately. love your poems.

  This is really a sweet refreshing read . It has a playful, humorous tone, but the attraction this "soulmate" holds for you is the main theme and presented in an ingenue fashion. I can almost see the sparkling eyes, and flushed cheeks here, and feel the light-hearted camaraderie of these two new "old" friends"
I liked the T-shirt bit, and don't think it connotes anything promiscuous, -I just think it shows that you wanted to leave this fellow with a reminder of you- even though you couldn't remember his name (like you forgot your own name),
I thought the off-hand light style was perfect and you touched a common nerve in human love experience, and also worked in the soulmate theme without sounding cliché.
Well done,
silver

  Ah I really like the idea of this... Soulmates, bumping into each other from life to life. There is tha feeling of bonding, I think, like you've known them since Always.
there's nothing I would change or add to this, I think it really does exactly what it should...
Hope you remember :)

  There truly are those comfortable souls who cross our paths, knowing their names is probably not so important, don't you think? Our souls recognize them that's what matters. The idea that you bought a
t- shirt for your friend and not for your husband is really original. I find no fault with this write, dancing, enjoying his company, all these things tell us, maybe you were lovers in another life.
Thanks for sharing,

  This is interesting. It's funny how you forget his name as soon as he's said it: "And said "My name is John."/I took your hand,/But I couldn't remember your name."

What I find most interesting is: "I brought you a Dylan tee shirt/From the Rolling Thunder Tour./Nothing for my husband." You didn't give your husband anything. That makes me think there might've been something between the two of you if circumstances permitted.

It's cool that he even realized it. "Next life around" is an intersting way to say it. "But will I finally remember your name?" His name might not be the same in the next life, but yours might not either.

  A nice creative poem,,story.
I am starting to take a intrest in your work.
You write very story driven thing in which I like...

I can't say that I have ever meet a person in which I felt like I have known for a thousand years but it would be interesting.

Peace and Harmony

  Good write. I've felt that way before, where you know you've seen or met this person before. Known them since the dawning of time...but like you have phrased, You just can't remember his name...
