The letter A

I knew your name
many years ago,
it began with an A,
capital A, proud and strong
sphere like A-
like Angel,
Amelia,
yet it wasn't one of those,
and then I woke one morning
the sun beat down,
your bed had gone cold
you were gone,
yet everything remained,
soon your memory followed,
your name did not,
pass my lips-
I knew your name
and then,
I no longer did
it was an A though,
it was-
though it could have been another,
now-
I'm not so sure,
memories are faded,
yet everything remains
I knew your name once,
and now I don't,
I no longer need to,
do I...
