At the beginning of Junko Yagami song "Bay city" there are several te form, i
can't understand how they are "resolved".

**Romaji :** anata wo otte Tasogare no Bay City meguri aetara Damatte
dakitomete

**Kanji :** あなたを追って 黄昏のBay City めぐり逢えたら 黙って抱きとめて

**Translation i found :** I follow you to The Bay city in twilight and if I
see you there Just shut up and hold me

The only verb which is not in te-form is aetara. "au" to meet : Past
Indicative of Potential Plain this is perhaps the resolution i am searching
for but 2 things bothered me :

  * ra at the end of potential form
  * this verb is not placed at final position

all others verbs otte (ou) Damatte (damaru) dakitomete (daku) are in te form
if i am correct.

Can someone explain this or point to an article explaining this use of te form
?

Thanks a lot
