Doctor of the body turn the Doctor of poet

I Remember you
Here I am Waiting patiently
May be for the future to happen differently
But this path I thread upon is familiar
Every step I take is upon my past footsteps
Not because I want to
Only because the future has chosen to make it so

The thorns are same                                                           
l remember walking upon the thorns many times as a punition for not been able to get to the end of the path

Oh the fowls                                                                         
I remember them picking worms from the earth and waking us up with their crow to behold the beautiful sunrise

I remember these flowers                                                   
I remember their scent                                                     
I remember the flowers swayed to the sweet sound of raindrops while we danced in the rain

I remember the silent night and the night sky
I remember us upon your cape on the grass with our eyes fixed on the stars while we let hours pass

I remember every bend of this path                               
I remember we navigated every bend only to arrive at the beginning of the path                                               
We never saw the end

I remember you and your alluring beauty                         
I remember waking up everyday to a tidbits of your wonder                                                                                   
I remember thinking eternity may not be long enough  for you to unfold the entirety of your phenomenal nature

I remember the last time we saw                                       
I had gone to see what laid beyond the cliff             
And when I was back to where I left you, the north wind had taken you away                                                     
Here I am at the North pole waiting for the north wind to bring you back to me

I remember this path                                                   
Every path I trod upon, led me to this familiar path

I hope the future leads me back to you
I hope when the future happens I'll be right at your feet       
I hope you choose to be my future                                     
I hope you make me your future too                                 
I hope that you come with me to the land beyond the cliff
I hope that our future stretches into eternity
