Remember Me


Now I am gone

My last curtain has been drawn.

Remember when you first showed up?

And were looking at my cup?

 

I remember.

 

Remember when we went to school,

And whilst at lunch, pretended to drool?

 

I remember.

 

But I was forced to go.

And oh, how the rain fell so.

 

I remember,

 

I had to go, and you to stay

To spend your life day by day.

 

I remember.

 

Where be I, and where you be,

Under the same sky, but so far you see.

 

I remember.

 

Our lives both end and start this year.

You there, and I here. 

You are where I long to be!

But, do you remember me?

 

I remember.

 

Oh the adventures, the joys, the sorrows

Can no longer carry on the morrow.

 

Our paths were forced apart

And we used to think we were so smart.

 

But... Alas

 

Now I am gone.

My last curtain has been drawn.

All I ask is that you remember me,

The way that I remember you.

I love a good storm on a summer night, a blizzard on a winters night. The full moon shining bright in a cloudless sky, the voices of nature haunting my mind in the background. I'm biding my time... Waiting for something amazing to happen.
