If I forget how to smile, please lift the beauty mark at the corner of your lips just a little, and tell me how beautiful that curve is.
If I forget how to endure loneliness, please make me remember your silhouette, once as solitary as the sea, and tell me how that depth can leave a lasting impression.
If I forget how to apologize through my tears, please hold on to the pain that has passed and the happiness waiting at the next stop, and tell me that those cool, quiet days of waiting will eventually bloom.
If I forget how to take off my mask, please look into my eyes without pretense until the fence falls away, and tell me that someone always has to reach out and touch the tender things.
If I forget how to take yesterday's strings and play today's song, please plant an everlasting vine in the name of love, and summon a breeze that is always fresh. Let the wind dance and the vines sing, and tell me those notes that turn like the rings of a tree have never stopped.
If I forget how to face the turning stars and fall silent like a withered root deep underground, please stand firm in the cracks of time, sword in hand, and cut down all that tangled growth I cannot touch. Then wake me, just before September ends, and tell me this world holds everything I need to fight for.
Theme:
I originally wanted to type, but my nose was blocked and my brain was swollen, so I turned off the computer and lay down on the bed. I couldn't breathe easily, so I held toilet paper in my hand and pillowed on a tall soft pillow to read your memories. However, for me, at this time and before, life was just like this. The good times were numbered. I just missed the warm sunshine shining on the golden leaves.
