Do not miss me
Don't cry for me
I want no sadness
I want no pity
Little white flowers litter the room
And tears threaten you
But why should you cry
When I haven't left?
In each of your hearts
In every memory
I live within you
As long as you don't forget
There's still a part of me
By your side
Even if you stray
I'll always be near
I won't let go of you
And you'll be ok by yourselves
As I grew older
I gave you more and more
Every body gives out
But the soul continues to live
Through each person it touched
And every story told
That's why you get old, you know?
You give yourself to other people
Small parts of your soul
Carefully entrusted to those around you
Your heart's still looking for a way
To just feel alright
But it's ok, it'll all be alright
In the end
So this, it seems, is my final gift
A piece of me for each of you
Something to cherish and protect
Something to keep with you
When everything seems wrong
And everything is falling
Remember I am here
Just reach out...
I won't leave you,
Though it's frightening
I will hold you still
Even though I'm gone
I will hold you tight and close
I will ease your pain
Let me keep you safe
Until you can move on
I thought this would be easier
Saying good bye...
It sounds so...permanent...
So instead, let's just say "Farewell"
Farewell, until we meet again
