unsure

unsure of something,

a memory, I suppose.
something we shared
had slipped away 

a date well known.
a unique date-
our first date!
the kind of thing
I should not forget-

but I did, over time,
I forgot,  and I feel
ashamed that
my memory failed 

until I found assurance 
in this dusty calendar
opened to the page,
the date, we met
