I remember you

I remember you in the rain

As we’d once felt each drop caress our skin.

I remember your sun-kissed hair

As the wind blows while we watch those foamy waves.

You told me you love the sun

Because with its rays you feel that you are free.

You told me of your desire

To set this land into liberty.

Perhaps I would never understand

Some of those things you said to me.

Perhaps I wouldn’t know

Whatever happened in those days you’re not with me.

But…

I wouldn’t forget the smile in your lips

When you listen to the chirping birds in the city.

I won’t forget the sadness in your eyes

When you feel that things just shouldn’t be.

The stiffness in your fair yet crumpled fist,

Is not forgotten, never would be.

The way you talk

Will forever be in my memory.

Because you fought for me

And for everybody.

And maybe, I’ll never see you again

But I know once in a while, we’ll remember you.
