I Will Remember You
I will remember you,
when everything else has been forgotten.
You were always true to me,
You were, always, the very best for me.
When there’s nothing left,
you go straight to the core,
faster than anyone I’ve ever known.
When I am completely alone
in the great unknown,
I will remember you.
I will keep you in mind
at the end of the journey.
So many things I had yet to do
and so little time to fail them all.
There are some people
I could simply never forget—
even if I’d only seen them
once or twice.
When the roses wilt
and I sit quietly in the shade,
I will remember you.
Didn’t I try—didn’t I truly try to love you?
Didn’t I try—didn’t I truly try to care for you?
Didn’t I sleep, didn’t I cry beside you
when the rain blew in and soaked your hair?
I will remember you
when the wind blows through the pine forest.
It was you who saw straight to the heart,
you who understood so deeply—
even though I’ll never be able to say it,
I did it in that one way
you would have wanted me to.
In the very end,
my dear and sweet friend,
I will remember you.
