When it’s Over

How will you remember me
Years after I’ve left your life
When I’m nothing more than a memory?

How will your face bend;
Upwards in joy or downwards in sorrow
Long after we’ve seen our end?

How tired will your soul feel
When you realized that you never expressed
The feelings that felt so real?

How will you keep me alive?
What part of me will you adopt?
What part will make you thrive?

How would you use one more chance
To see and appreciate me how I am?
Would you talk to me or ask me to dance?

I hope your memories will be fond
And that a smile crosses your face
When these days have long since gone.

I hope you know I won’t stop loving you
Because stubborn, my love will not die.
But will you still love me too?

I hope you know this isn’t the end
But let’s treat it like it is
While there’s still time left to spend.

I hope you see a new day dawn
And that you take that time to say
Exactly how you feel before the feeling is gone.
