I want you not to cry
That day when I'm gone,
I wish not for you to be broken.
Be strong for me and the future,
Remember of all the good times
And be proud of yourself.

We had love to share
And you filled me with joy.
Whenever I leave -
never to return
All you will are memory flashes,
Nothing left of my flesh
Still you will crave more;
More of the soul warming touch
The touch of my poetry to your heart

By then I'll be long gone,
Remember all the poems of time
The ones I wrote to you
Keep them close to your,
they'll draw me closer to you
But promise you'll never mourn,
Let my absence shatter you,
I'll be there.

I live and love poetry. Thank you for reading and all the generous tips. Remember to share love during the days of your life. Once you are gone all that'll be left are memories.
