Remain to Remember

When water cascades atop the waterfall

When daylight folds its sky to night

When waves of the ocean raise the seas

Will you remember to remember me?

When night's curtains are pulled to daylight

When birds orchestrate their songs to dawn

When mountain reach their final peak

Will you remember to remember me?

When the stars canvas shines its blush

When deceit impersonates truth

When tears scorn the lashes sorrowfully

Will you remember to remember me?

When my hand is cold at your touch

When my heart guards itself from you

When my body settles to reject your decree

Will you remain in remembering me?
