IF I WASN'T ME


 You would not know me, my face, my name a 
 Mystery,


 The voice that becomes a stranger to you, 
 Would not be known.


 Pass me by without a thought, no emotion or  
 Care, a stare,


 There would for you be no memory of me, no 
 Late night dream.


 If I wasn't me, would you wish to see, hear, 
 Or smile at me,


 Would you be in want of a kiss without pain, 
 A touch with no scare.


 Would a second thought be a possibility if I 
 Was a different me,


 If I wasn't me, would you not forget me, would 
 I still be a something?
