Think Of Me - Andrew Lloyd Webber
think of me
think of me fondly
when we've said goodbye
A parting kiss before the eternity that yawned before them.
remember me every so often
promise me you'll try
Weeks before they would meet again, weeks of dreams and thoughts that would echo in their heads... alone.
on that day - that not so distant day
when you are far away and free
if you ever find a moment
spare a thought for me
Waiting and counting the days until autumn.
and though it's clear
though it was always clear
Of course, they couls still owl each other, though it wouldn't be the same.
that this was never meant to be
They wouldn't be able to hold hands, to see each other's faces, or even just sit and feel the body heat radiating from each other.
if you happen to remember
stop and think of me
A smile as one's hand wipes away another's tear.
think of august when the trees were green
don't think about the way things might have been
Perhaps next year it would be easier. Perhaps it would be different.
think of me
think of me waking
silent and resigned
Not everyone changed over the summer. They could still be together, no matter what he... no matter what happened.
imagine me trying too hard to put you from my mind
Another kiss to quell a sob, hair brushed back gently from watered eyes.
think of me please say you'll think of me
whatever else you choose to do
A sigh when the kiss broke and a whispered promise.
there will never be a day when
I won't think of you
The rain pored down, pathetic fallacy for their hard day.
flowers fade
the fruits of summer fade
The sound of droplets hitting metal drowning out the sound of students meeting parents and calling cheerfully to each other.
they have their season so do we
Drowning out their whispers of love and comfort to each other.
but please promise me
that sometimes,
The rain falling, now masking their tears from their parent's prying eyes.
you will think...
... drowning out the sound of their hearts breaking...
...of me
