˙˙·٠•♥If you forget me♥•٠·˙˙

If you forget me 
I want you to know one thing 
You know how this is 

If I look at the crystal moon 
At the red branch 
Of the slow autumn at my window 
If I touch near the fire the impalpable ash 
Or the wrinkled body of the log 
Everything carries me to you 
As if everything that exists - aromas, light, metals 
Were little boats that sail toward 
Those isles of yours that wait for me 

Well, now 
If little by little you stop loving me 
I shall stop loving you 
Little by little 
If suddenly you forget me 
Do not look for me 
For I shall already have forgotten you 

If you think it long and mad 
The wind of banners that passes through my life 
And you decide to leave me 
At the shore of the heart where I have roots 
Remember 
That on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms 
And my roots will set off to seek another land 

But, if each day, each hour, 
You feel that you are destined for me 
With implacable sweetness 
If each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me 
On my love, on my own, in me all that fire is repeated
