If I leave
May 28, 2012
If I leave,
Will you remember me?
When I am gone
Will you think of me for who I was?
If I should suddenly become absent
Would you notice?
If I go
Would you first let me know
Thoughts and feelings
That you never before let show
Isn't it funny
How a threatened leave
Gets things out of people
That they wouldn't usually say
Or do
Why not live through our last words everyday?
Why not drop our fears and live life to the extreme?
For we are not afraid of the jump
But the impact that we expect at the bottom
Which, in reality
Is a bounce
