a trace of your life

You are always there above me, and I rise toward you in my mind. I shall go beyond even this force which is in me, this force which we call memory, longing to reach out to you by the only possible means to to cling to you in the only way it is possible to cling to you...But where will the search lead me? Where am I to find you? If I find you beyond my memory, it means I have no memory of you. How, then, am I to find you, if I have no memory of you?
