All Will Be Gone

One day, you will be

gone.

We’ll stumble upon

each other on the street.

But I won’t know

you,

and you won’t know

me.

Maybe I’ll give you a

nod,

and perhaps you’ll say

hello.

As we walk on by,

neither of us will look back.

‘Cause all will be

gone.

When she asks you who

I am,

you’ll say:

«oh, just someone I once knew»

Holding her hand a little

tighter.

Just like that, we will be

gone.

All the fragments of everything

that used to be

alive,

will be washed away,

like patterns

in sand. 

And it will all be

gone.
