Final Thoughts
if a thousand people remember me
yet, not one of them ever really knew me
or none of them,
ever truly loved me
loved me for who i really was
i would have to wonder if it was all worth it
but, if just one person
is left and they remember me
and they really knew me
knew me for who i was deep down inside
and loved me for the person i had been
someone, you know someone who truly understands
whether it be a friend or a lover
or it could be a combination of both
and if i finally obtain true respect
and i finally cause a true feeling
even if only one person gives me this
i will know that in the end it was all worth it
