If and When

by Walter   Dec 29, 2020


When I no longer yearn, to read a new book
Nor want to travel, for my eyes to look
Or taste different foods, never savoured before
Nor thirsting my drink, while I watch it pour

When I don't laugh, without needing a joke
Or walk in the rain, while all my clothes soak
Wake up when the sun hasn't risen yet
Then watching it again, as it would set

When I stop wishing, with the first star
Or refuse to go somewhere, because it's too far
Watch my favourite movie, for the last time
Or searching for words, for my poems to rhyme

When our eyes meet, but no longer we smile
Or if holding your hand, doesn't seems so worthwhile
If when we're apart, and neither of us miss
Or when coming home, there's never a kiss

When life becomes dull, and no longer a thrill
If I can't be bothered and have lost all my will
I don't know how, I will ever survive
Because it's all of these things, which keep me alive
