"As I have life I have hope we could make new memories"

Autumn Apart an die ferne Geliebte I was wondering about you and if you remember The way it was and how we felt another November One which was so long ago now that it seems lost to me Except for the haunted persistence of its memory I was wondering about whether it persists in you Or not the way it does in me and if it haunts you too When the leaves are as they are and the stars are as they are In this November like another one I remember It makes me wonder about you and if in December You will be alone as I am alone with leaf and star And the haunted persistence of the memory of what The haunted persistence of memory never forgot As I have life I have hope we could make new memories However separated we might be Completing a circle with stars and leaves with things like these And things only experience can see The way we see too late how love is indivisible And how the cruelest walls of all are invisible I was wondering about you and dreaming about you You say you are real and I have no reason to doubt you And I guess it is only an effect of poverty Not being able to travel as we would like to do An effect of fear too if you are anything like me Which keeps us apart missing each other as I miss you The question is only when not whether Our day will come to be lived out We are predestined to be together Real and without reason to doubt And until we are together a star Shines in memory of the millions of The stars and leaves of November to seal and say my love Belongs to you exclusively I wonder if you wonder about me +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMIX
