LOCK OF HAIR

If I gave you a lock of my hair before you go
I would like you to keep it close to your heart
I know how much you love me
I know how much you love my hair
And I want the scarlet richness to protect you safe and warm
I want it to be your breath
I want it to keep your blood rich inside you
I want this be the lifeblood that keeps you safe
Promise me you’ll keep this close to your heart
And I hope this will guide you
My everlasting love
Please return home to me
With my lock of hair please keep it safe
Please think of me
Please cherish everything
Because you are taking part of me
Please keep me with you through everything
Because it will be the lack there of on me
I will always remember that I gave this to you
I will pray that this will protect you
I will never take for granted that I loved you
Even if I have to let you go
Keep my hair close to you
Keep my heart close to you
Please remember every day
That I love you and always remember
