Gone. It was there, just a moment ago. And now, it's not. Gone. I...I ... it's gone. It was right here. I saw it. I swear, I can remember it. But now... Now there's no trace. It's just... gone.

Lost. I had it. I remember distinctly, I had it. And then, I lost it. Where did it go? Did I really lose it? Or did it lose itself? Surely not. I had it. It was right here. And now, I've lost it.

Now it's gone. But not forgotten. Never forgotten. I remember it. Just a moment ago, just a minute, infinitesimal portion of a microscopic measurement of time ago I had it. It was mine. It was so thoroughly mine, I didn't even recognize I had it. It was accepted. I had it, it was right there.

Was it? I... forget. No, surely it was there. I can recall quite clearly it was right here. Or there. But it was definetly somewhere, I know that for certain. Beyond the darkest shadow of a doubt. And yet...

Maybe it wasn't. Perhaps, I just think I took it for granted. It's not here now, how do I know it was there then? Did it ever really exist? No, I remember. It was there. I could have positively sworn I had it right here a moment ago. Well, awhile ago at least. Recently. It was here recently. A few moments ago, it was right here. Right here.

Or there. There ... yes, it could have just as easily been there. My memory's a tad fuzzy, I could have some misconceptions. It was around here somewhere recently. It had to exist, that's obvious. The point is, it's gone now. Gone, but not forgotten. That's the key, right? If I remember it, it's never really gone. It's just not here. It's... away. But it was here a moment ago. Or there. Recently. Or maybe it was nearby lately... Whatever. The specifics don't matter. It's gone now, I can't get it back. I lost it. Or it lost me. It's not here, though. It's not there, it's not around, it's not nearby. It's just gone.

It's gone. I can't find it. I look for it, and it's gone. Vanished. Absconded. Evaporated. Lost. Just plain gone. I had it, now I don't. I had it. It was mine. M-I-N-E. Mine. I had it. I. Had. It. Now I don't. I don't have it, it's gone. But I remember having it. As clearly as the sun is bright, I remember having it. At least I know that. I remember having it, it was here, it's gone. Simple. 1, 2, 3. That's it. Yes, it. Wait, "it"? What was "it"? Ah yes, "it" is gone.

Gone.
