I wonder...

I wonder how many breaths I've taken
And how many I have left
I wonder how many steps I've walked
And how many faces I've seen

I wonder how many shades of blue I've seen in the sky
And how many clouds have passed overhead
How many stars have been born in my life
And how many have dimmed and died

I wonder if strangers ever remember me in passing
Or if forgotten friends smile when they hear my name
I wonder how many people out there pray for me to get hit by a bus
Not knowing I wish the same whenever one passes me in the city

I wonder how many tastes I've tasted
And how many temperatures I've felt
I wonder if when I stare at the night sky
Someone on the other side of the universe is doing the same

And I wonder
If maybe
My heart finally stopped beating
If I was brave enough
I wonder if it would matter
Even a little bit
At all
