WILL YOU FORGET ME?

Will you forget me...?
when my eyes can see no more
when I can only feel what I see no more
feel where others can see no more.

Will you forget me...?
when my ears are all closed
when you speak and don't think I hear
when only weary winds bring your words near.

Will you forget me...?
when my familiar scent disappears
when similar blows and no memory reappears
when you can be unmoved, no cheers, no fears.

Will you forget me...?
when my mouth is shut
when all you hear are words of my heart
saying what I did and would say.

Will you forget me...?
when hearty gifts I can no longer give
when these wide open arms leave
when hugs I can no longer give.

Will you forget me...?
when am long out of sight
when all I was becomes just a flash of light
when my immeasurable has a chance to shine bright.

Will you forget me...?
when I cease to be and leave just a picture
when my picture soon becomes just a signature
when only your heart harbors my life's signature.

Will you forget me...?

Forget the silhouette you see
Forget the sweet voice you hear
Forget these hands that hold and are held
but forget me not...
Forget not my heart and soul.
