I Know How I Know Her

I'm traveling solo next month to Las Vegas
going to a cool art museum with an old friend my second day there
we go back more than 20 years
 
We shared Portland
when we were just hitting middle age
visits to art museums
shopping for clothes and fun jewelry
brunches with her other friends at her place
 
I can tell you everything about her
she's an Aries
grew up in Tucson
a year older than me
talented at knitting and crafting
outgoing and social
kinks she was open about but trying to move on from 
(sex obsession she called it)
living in Las Vegas after working as a social worker in South Korea
(got her master's in social work in middle age)
happy being single
 
We haven't really talked in the many years that have passed
Generic Facebook comments mostly
Still, I remember her
I remember her well,
I could tell you everything about her.
 
I came home to an odd message:
 
Forgive me, she started
my memory isn't so great anymore
How do I know you?
 
I remember her well
I could tell you everything about her ...

 I'm not sure who to feel sorrier for:
 
her
 
or me.
