Half Forgotten Riff

That night was long ago
Forgotten almost
To everyone
Nothing special, not even for me

Everything happened that night
Nothing happened
Depends on the viewpoint
Perhaps you do not remember
The joke I made
You laughed at the time
I remember
Maybe not that night, but I remember
Something

A couple of drinks
Pictures that no one really likes
When they appear online
I wasn’t looking
At the camera
Wasn’t thinking about the camera
Just felt tired

But then that song
Woke everything up
Came and went
Back to obscurity, I enjoyed it whilst it lasted
Didn’t like what followed
The unknown song was the highpoint
Of a low point
Of my year
But unknown it remained

Time passes
Not so foolish anymore
People forget
Not me, I remember
Just the riff
Over and over
Can’t exorcise the memories till I find it

There’ll be joy when I find it
Even though it may wake the memory
That you don’t have
And I wish I could banish
