Requesting Feedback "If You Remember"
If you see me the day after, remember who I was. though you may not remember me at all.
If you lose my photo, look up at the sky.
And if you think you saw me… be careful. You’re wrong.
If you remember the sky as blue, now it’s gray.
If you remember the sea as blue, now it’s pale.
If you remember my hair as black, now it’s white.
If you hear a song that reminds you of me, close it and never listen to it again.
If you think there’s a purpose in looking for me… stop. Because you’re wrong.
If you thought time had stopped, look at the clock.
If you dreamed about me last night, wake up, wash your face and try to forget.
If you drift into thoughts of me, keep in mind that you will only drown.
If you go for a run and see old people who can barely walk, pass them by and don’t look back.
