When I am no longer here
I know you will miss me
Wishing you could hold me one last time
You would be willing to give everything, even a gold dime
You will wonder, what was your crime
That I had to leave before it was time?
When I am no longer here
The words you never said
Will come out without any hiccups
You will wish you could wake me up with a few simple taps
But I will be forever gone
No longer to be reached by phone.
When I am no longer here
You will wish you had treasured me more
That you had introduced me to them all
Tears will keep rolling as you think so
But I will be gone to a place you can’t willingly go.
Death will come for anyone
Even the strongest of us
So make sure you tell people that you love them
For you never know where it will be the last time
They see you
Or you see them.
When I am no longer here
You’ll feel my absence
And in the empty days of your life, memories of us will haunt you like ghosts
Each smile we shared, every word unspoken, embedded in your memory
You may long for one last chance to hold my hand, to hear my laughter
But in that world beyond reach, I’ll watch over you
So cherish what you have today for you never know when you might lose it.
