When the ground opens up And swallows my still body whole I don't think I will remember The lust of the girls I have had. When the reaper slowly knocks on my door And I welcome him, knowing my fate I don't think I will remember What they thought about me. When my skin no longer holds form And I can't find the mind to fret about it I don't think I will remember The possessions I had in my home. But as I lay there, on the cold pavement battered and bruised, sick and weary, I know I will remember The tear that left your eye. The smile that faded to a cry. The hair that was disheveled in your face. The wail that could stop the heart of 1,000 men. The weary look that killed me in a way death never could. So I murmur, please don't cry, mi amor, for I have not died yet, and although you want to be sad, know that I'm here, with you, until time fades like the waves of the sea. P.S.- And if we should be so lucky, To meet again, In a new life or the next, Know that I will embrace you Soul to soul, Chest to chest.
