If we should part ways
Keep my words close to you heart
Hold on to the few memories we had
Remember the times I made you smile
If we should part ways
Choose to recall only the happy times
Fill yourself with my warmth
Remember our first dialogue
If we should part ways
Don’t cry about it
Rather, laugh about the emotions that were triggered
Shrug off the tears and smile
If we should part ways
Wake up each morning knowing that you are my sunshine
Sleep each night knowing that you are my moonlight
Your smile lights up my heart
If we should part ways
Never forget the kind of delight we shared
Elation that surpasses your first visiting day in boarding school
Gaiety greater than when you first wore pearls
Happiness that cannot be compared
If…
We should part ways
Remember my name
And every day look to the horizon
Whispering it out, softly
Knowing that it gives me much pleasure to hear you call me
If we should part ways
Don’t question if we are better apart
Rather, cling to all that you can recall
And don’t let go
