Identity Crisis

Would you remember me
When there's not much of me left?
When I'm faded,
Like a rock chipped away by erosion.

Would you remember me
When you're almost unrecognisable?
When I don't think I know who you are anymore;
Like a tree that's shed its leaves in winter.

Would you remember me
When the world's spinning starts to slow?
When everything disappears so quickly,
Would you remember me?

Your poem with it's repeated refrain 'Will you remember me?' creates such a sadness and longing for hope and human bonds of love and friendship. Friendship is precious. J :)
