If ever you forget all things,
Forget me not, dear, I pray.
Let not our dreams, our sweet memories,
From your heart be taken away.
If the pages of our rain-soaked diary
Ever tear and fall apart,
Tuck those pages amidst the ache
Deep in the folds of your heart.
If the letters we once shared
Are swept by storm winds fierce,
Remember, each word was penned
Only to hold you near.
If you ever find a red rose,
In a muddy pond afloat,
Set it adrift on a paper boat
To love's eternal moat.
Should you wander my garden at dawn,
In the early morning mist,
I'll watch you quietly from afar,
In that tender, secret tryst.
If ever you light the evening lamp
To cast its glow within,
May it guide me like a lost river
To the shore where dreams begin.
Should a letter ever reach you,
Sent by a dove in flight,
Then you'll know, dear, that it's from me,
A traveler seeking light.
If you rest in the banyan's shade,
Under the scorching sun,
I'll appear, a thirsty bird,
Until the day is done.
Embrace the unknown parts of me,
Dear friend, hold them close.
If I ever falter, silently,
Let me mend what hurts most.
Why this chill within my heart?
Wrap me, love, in your cover.
I am the breeze of autumn's dawn,
Draped in blooms of late summer.
Here I rest in the earth's embrace,
In a slumber deep and true.
If you ever forget the world, my dear,
Promise you'll remember me too.
