forget you not

I wrote my name into the dust,
and watched it blow away
into the leaves of the attalea trees
and the blue skies clouded grey
One whisper in the wind and then
it was never heard again

I wrote my name into the sand
and watched it wash away
into the blue of the ocean tide,
consumed by the roaring wake
One crash against the rocks and then
it was never heard again

I won't leave a forget-me-not
because you will, you will,
you know you will
But when the whispers fade
and the tide recedes
I'll be thinking of you still

I wrote my name into a tree
and watched it rot away
into the depths of fertile soil
and time well worn decay
One last time to stand and then
it was never seen again

I wrote my name into the clouds
and watched it all disperse
into the blue sky, vast and wide
hung over all the earth
One last glimpse from below and then
it was never seen again

I won't leave a forget-me-not
because you will, you will
you know you will
But when the tree falls down
and the clouds change shape
I'll be thinking of you still

I won't leave a forget me not,
but I'll be thinking of you still.
