Don’t forget me simply because our story has ended 

When day breaks
When you look in the mirror while brushing your teeth
When you take a mug for your early morning tea

When you read a poem
When you go to the cinema
When you buy a bouquet of flowers for someone else

When you need some advice
When you’re reading a new book
When you go out for brunch on a sunny Sunday

When you visit the beach
When you hear my song on the radio
When you see a couple pass by 

When the days are cold
When you’re having a lonely night
When the party’s over

I hope you think of me.
