Sometimes I’m not enough.
Not enough to bear this weight all alone.
Sometimes I sit and think
How would you remember me?
If at all you would!

Would you think about all the times,
When you and your words blended into my soul like they are one?
Or
Would you think about the times,
When the words spoken faced a failed execution and left me numb!

Tell me how would you remember me?
If at all you would!

Would your face make that curve and gleam with that beautiful smile on listening to our favourite songs?
Or
Would it turn pale and your hands would tremble to turn it off,
As they might remind you of the day, when everything right turned wrong!

Tell me how would you remember me?
If at all you would!

Would you keep my words close to your heart and think about them on lonely days?
Or
Would they also meet a fate like the promises you once made and would slowly fade away?

Tell me how would you remember me?
If at all you would!

Would you remember me when the sky would turn into beautiful oranges and pinks?
Or
Would all of my memories go deep down in a dark hole within a blink?

Tell me how would you remember me?
If at all you would!

Would you forever keep my first glimpse in your heart and your eyes would shine thinking about the same?
Or
Your feet would change their path on listening to my name?

Tell me how would you remember me?
If at all you would!

Well, I don’t know!
I can only wish
I wish you remember all the things I once said and believe that they were true;
I wish you to be happy every second of your life, ‘cuz it makes me happy too.

I wish you remember and embrace all the good times that we have shared;
I wish no matter where this life takes us,
I want you to remember that there was someone who always cared.
That is how i would like you to remember me
If at all you would!
