The Forgotten

Not even a figment of your imagination
Not even a consonant in your whisper
Not even a blink from your observation
Not even a stroke in your signature
Not even a pattern in your dream
Not even a tap from all of your heartbeats
Not even a cell in your bloodstream
Not even a character in your tweet
What am I?
