Explanation:
a couple pf suggestions:
I don't know if you will ever (have the occasion to) speak of me again. I would leave out the second bit, as it sounds very repetitive in English.
or try:
I really have no way of knowing if you will ever speak of me again.
You wil probably need to find the combination of words that suits the context best.
