If I Left...
By: Noah Eaton
11/28/01

If I left
Would you miss me?
Would you care
If I felt hopelessly?

If I left
Would you laugh or cry?
Would you forget my name
Or want me to fly?

If I left
Would I change anything?
Have I meant something at all
Or just a waste of time you see

If I left
Would you pat my shoulder?
And beg me to stay
Forever and ever...
Or would you turn away?

Hi Noah, well you know if you left here, lots of people would miss you. But if you are talking in terms of other relationships, I think it seems to go both ways. Sometimes people really care, and notice when we leave, and then there are the cold hearted ones that don't. I have met my share of those kind. I am still trying to figure out how one person that I thought really cared for me can completely close me out of his life. In the end, we only have us, I guess. Our own spirit has to sustain us.
Love you. Be happy.

Oh Noah, I hope you're not meaning to leave us. I hope you do not, coz your presence really does make a difference.

I've too realised many times that when you contribute in small ways, like a smile, or even a gentle pat on the shoulder. You would have made a whole world of difference. And then people do remember you for all those little things you do, that you think nobody noticed. You just never knew that they love you for it too.

We hope not, but by if by some strange instance you did,
u you would have left a trail of Beautiful Words behind.

Sounds like you have been told more than once ...
I guess you have made a difference in life.
However, in Sandra's words, there are various ways this piece can be taken,
and various pains forsaken.
We must all find our way,
though well wished,
to make it another day.

Whatever the meaning for you Noah, I hope it contains all the dreams, stardust, and smiles you share so openly.
