Just Smile And Remember Me

You're so gorgeous my love, you are truly beautiful

Inside and out, a loving soul, who is forever immutable

And that dazzling smile! It's so wickedly warm, it's a real teaser

And I'm sure it could melt the gathering ice trapped in a freezer!

I could wax lyrical about you, I could go on and on and on

I want to my love, but to do so would be recklessly wrong

But you know you make me so happy, you make me laugh and cry

Tears of joy, of course, but sometimes surreptitiously I cannot lie...

Because nothing's forever and we were never for ever

But time ticks by and we're still tied by an invisible tether

For now, for a long time now, but it's time to look ahead

And see what's looming, for it will tear apart our last thread

Though I know you live for today, but it will soon be tomorrow

And nothing's clear, as dusk descends, there's only time left to borrow

The inevitable doesn't stop and wait and fate's not for stalling

And we can't stop (tho' we tried) and we'll be lost, for twilight's calling

For when we tread our different paths, we'll find that reality's stark

As our parallel paths find different tracks, in the bounds of the dark

And when dawn realigns and the sun shines down once more

Don't look back my love, for what is next is set before...

And if you look around and I'm not there, just smile and remember me

Because nothing's forever and I'll be somewhere, for our fate's 'pro tempore'
