I walked into a room full of strangers.
That, of itself, caused me no discomfort.
What hurt was that the few I did know
Had forgotten me and our time together.
Perhaps, too many years had passed;
I should have stayed in touch . . .

This is my version (sorry for the changes, but they were necessary to suit my story)
Me at the JW Memorial:
I walked into a room full of strangers.
That, of itself, caused me great discomfort.
Because what hurt was that the few I did know
Had forgotten me and our time together.
Perhaps, too many years had passed;
They should have stayed in touch . . .

Divergent:
EXCELLENT! Spot on.
"Forgotten" was inspired from my attending a church funeral. The few I did know I hadn't seen in some 20 years. One remembered me and hugged and kissed me. That took away the pain.
THANKS!
