Will you?

                                                                             

If I ever go missing,

Will you come looking for me?

Digging the junk of yesterday,

Will you be able to describe me?

If somewhere your memory betrays you,

If ever you fail to remember me,

Think of the places we explored together,

Think of the songs we discovered together.

The sun that shone on our faces,

The drops our footsteps left behind,

Will guide you through your way,

To a place that was once ours.

Touch your face, where the scar was,

Trace your lips, that I kissed everyday,

Drop a tear from those childlike eyes,

Eyes which made me dream of tomorrow.

Hold on to us, don’t give up too easily,

Promise me you’ll go on, promise me you’ll keep your promise,

Run to the alley, search the bridges,

Because I’ll be just there, waiting to be found.
