It just struck me one day, a question that has bothered me for quite some time now — If I died one day, unplanned and uncalled for, would I be able to survive in your memories?
If I have already disappeared off the face of the earth, taken a stairway to where the untouchable lights are, would you remember me as if I was still around?
If you were to wake up one random morning to unlock your phone, only to see that you have received no new messages from me today, because I couldn't call or text you anymore, would you wait impatiently staring at the clock as it tick tocks and repeats, for some type of contact from me, like I do for you?
If one day, I was no longer here to pick fights with you, play the silent treatment game, or fuss about all the little problems we have. Would you maybe, think about turning back the hands of time, only to rescue me from all those sleepless nights?
If I were to exit from your life completely, would you forget my existence or would you search around all the corners of the world, seeing hope in someone’s back view just because their hair looks similar to mine?
And that is my question.
Life is short, and full of unexpected surprises. Sometimes it doesn't have to be death for someone to realise what they had before they lose it all, it could just be a I’m done type of decision. Either way, I could only hope that I have made a big enough impact in your life, an impact strong enough to be missed by you even when I’m gone.
