Write a story with this as the final line of dialogue.

My Own Mother

Dreams are filled with the same woman

A woman I know very well but can’t picture

Cause it’s been a bit too long

I can see her perfectly in the dreams

But I don’t remember when I wake up

Cause it’s been a bit too long


In real life, I hear her voice over the phone

It’s been forever, and I cry that night

Cause it’s been a bit too long

I’m told the voice is hers, and I believe it

Though it doesn’t sound familiar

Cause it’s been a bit too long


I finally see in person, what’s joyous day

I’m glad to see her, but don’t recognize her

Cause it’s been a bit too long

She wraps me in a hug I know I should love

But it just feels uncomfortable

Cause it’s been a bit too long


I saw her as a five year old one day

And the next time I was eleven

It’s been a bit too long, cause

I’m no longer the same little kid I was

And she no longer feels the same

It’s been a bit too long, cause


I had forgotten my own mother
