They both thought

This certainty is beautiful,
Even more beautiful than uncertainty.

nothing had ever happened between them,
These streets, these stairs, this corridors,
Where they could have met so long ago?

I would like to ask them,
if they can remember -

"Wrong number" on the 'phone?
- but I know the answer.
No, they don't remember.
