When You Remember Me
When evening falls and stars begin to gleam,
And silence wraps the world in silver light,
Then let your heart recall me like a dream,
Still walking near, though hidden from your sight.
Don’t mourn me long with sorrow’s heavy shade,
Nor let regret weigh down your tender days.
For though my breath is gone, my love has stayed,
It lingers still in quiet, subtle ways.
You’ll hear me in the rustle of the trees,
Or feel me in the warmth upon your skin.
In whispered winds and ever-moving seas,
My soul returns to where your thoughts have been.
So when you think of me, think not with pain,
But smile for all the joy we used to know.
Let laughter rise like sunlight after rain,
And love me through the seasons as they go.
I hope you dance beneath a bright and fearless sky,
And speak your truth with courage, loud and clear.
And if you find the strength to laugh and cry,
Then know I walk beside you, always near.
This parting is not death—it’s just a bend,
A brief divide, not meant to be the end.
So live with love, and let your bright soul shine,
And when you dream, reach out—your hand finds mine.
