In a symphony of silence

I wait breathlessly

For my dreams to claim me

Dreams of laughing eyes

And everlasting smiles

Beside a fire by the sea

And I wonder

When I am gone

Would you remember

The crazy mess that I was

And still miss me?

Would all my words

Be enough

To buy

A moment of your time

That you'd spend

In planting a memory

Of unspoken promises

In your heart

Right next to mine

Would you sometimes

In a wistful moment

Sing a song of

Distant love

And let me fleetingly be

Your cherished, unfulfilled rhyme?
