My Echoes

If I am to be forgotten while my feet still touch this earth

It doesn't really matter anymore I know now what the time was worth.

 

If I am to be erased, a fading memory to someone who's evolved

May my essence have left a mark, even in the form of something small.

 

If I am to be of folklore a legend you once told,

May I be the reason you brew cinnamon and honey tea on nights you find yourself cold.

 

If I am to be a melody you whistle but do not sing,

Maybe I'll be the reason you subtly enjoy the chaos life brings.

 

If I am to be a relic lost to new connections made,

I hope I taught some lesson and those relationships are stronger than we became.
