Be aware
If you’re going to love me
You will never forget me
Long after I’m gone
I will play in your heart
And in your mind
Fading out for a little while
Returning vividly
When a certain song comes on
A certain movie scene plays
A bell rings, or a bird sings
Sometimes the memory of me
Will jump right up out of nowhere
And consume you for a moment
Or two
You will hear my laughter
See my smile
The passion we shared
Cannot be undone
A thread woven thru time
Entwining our lives
I don’t really understand it
But I know it exists
Once you love me
Even when we’re not together
We will visit each other
In a world outside of this
Your lips will still feel my lips
Skin on skin
Hearts racing
Call it a dream, a memory
Call it what you will
The fact remains still
You will never forget me
Once you love me
