If I ever lose you
My world won't come crashing down
My depressed soul won't walk the street
Like those in the movies
But I will still visit
Your favourite spot by the river.
If I ever lose you
My night's sleep will be peaceful
Like the purple skies of full moon night
My broken heart won't wail
Like those college lovers
But I will still wear polo tshirts
That you thought suits me best.
If I ever lose you
I will still pursue my goals
Like you always wanted
However, there will be a glitch
When I see your purple scarf
Carefully tucked away in my drawer
Involuntarily might shed a tear or two.
If I ever lose you
I will still take my pills on time
No grief or sorrow can cause me pain
To derail me and my joyful chime
For you loved me when I stayed in rhyme.
But I will stare at the blank screen
Every time its past twelve at night.
