Will you lament my absence
and moisten your eyes for me?
Will you scream my name
When you feel empty?
Will you moan on my grave
When my hand slips from yours?
Have I earned that
Or will your sorrow be forced?
Will your embrace hold me there forever?
Or will you shun every thought of me?
When you wake with the sun
Will your hand search for me, beside you?
Will I leave behind me
Some memories to cherish
And something for the world to see
Will you count the stars at night
Searching for me?
Or will my footsteps be wiped away from your memory?
Will the wind remind you of my scent
Or will you mask your face?
When you run, will you turn back to look for me
Or lessen your pace?
Will I be remembered on birthdays?
Will my thought empower you
Or blur your gaze?
When I go, will you do me a favour?
To just hold me in your heart to the very last hour
When I am gone, just remember
That I was, am and will be yours forever
