Find the treasure of some sort.
Behold, see it unfold.
Search for the path, follow thy soul.
Thirst and quench, till there's no more.

Follow the trail, look for the cues.
Ride the train, do not neglect to see the view.
This rocky terrain and this stagnant path we're into,
Straight, slow, steady... unsure and untrue.

Choose between two paths, and lead me across.
Let's pull over or let's walk our way back together.
To this temporary elation we've fallen into.
This surreal illusion we induced ourselves into.

There are but few walls and the rest are neat roads.
Instead of bringing it down walking around it will be just fine.
Just when I said yes and just when you thought now's the time.
If it's already given. If we have commited. If it ends today, will you still be mine?

If this question is what lies at the back of my mind.
If a few years after is all that's left for me to find.
If things should happen where and when it should...
Will you come back just in time before I let it all go, for good?

Will we come back to each other and so?
Will you be here and still be... Forever?
If dreamy is what this is called...
What sense is loving and what choice do I have but to do so?

Promise me one thing, though.
Take heart that you will listen to me all the more so...

"Remember me when I am not here anymore.
This clumsy me with messy hair, cracked lips and crooked face...
My imperfection and all that I am when I am with you.
This love that we've shared and the things that we used to do...

Don't you cover those sweet times we've shared together.
We might not have lasted long enough but take me with you forever.
That even if we can't and we'll won't...
Let me live in your memories. Let me reside in your soul."

Just as when it was all perfect... Just when we said so.
**I know our time is coming. And we'll never have another.
Remember me when I am gone.
