By There would be a time that I would go back into the earth.
A moment when creation would be reversed.
There would be an emptiness in the earth,
A hallow in the space where I once stayed.
I would become immune to hunger and thirst
And soon forget how to breathe and walk.
I would only learn how to decay, for that I shall do.
But you’ll never know how I watch you while you sleep,
Or walk you down the road when you’re lonely.
I bet you’d never know the way I looked at you when you danced,
Or the glances that I stole at you when you weren’t looking.
Or the chocolates that I stuffed into your locker whenever you cried.
Or the letters that I wrote to you telling you
How wonderful and beautiful you are when you didn’t feel loved.
I know you didn’t know my name. But someday, I’d hope you’d remember me.
