When I die

When I die
Don't cry for me
That's the last thing I want you to do
When I die
Just smile and move on
That's life.what else can you do
I'll be right there,
On the other side waiting for you
And I'll look after you
Cause I love you and I promise you that I'll look after you
And it'll be okay
You'll live and forget it someday
But I'll still be there to hold your hand
When you feel that it is dark, when you feel that you're all alone
I'll be there standing next to you
And I'll always be the one who believes in you
Cause you deserve that, and quite more too
I gave a promise to look after you
And I will keep it cause nothing matters to me more than you.

This is a sad one for me, primarily because it deals with sharing a bond after death ~ an idea which I've always found depressing but somewhat comforting. My thoughts on death are similar to those expressed in this poem ... I don't want anyone to cry when I die, but at the same time, I know it will happen. I hope others can think of me and find solace in memories ... I think that's the best I can wish for.

Thank you for posting this. It was a thought-provoking and emotional write ... just perfect for my mellow mood right now.

thank you for reading, im glad you liked it, and i hope your mood'll get better and away from death thoughts.
and i believe that everyone will remember you in an amazing way because everyone has their own unique beauty inside and yours it special to the people around you. but again don't think of death itll only stop you from thinking of live

I've always wanted to be the one remembered after death. If not by all, then by those who I include in my life.

This was a relatable enough read for me. Sad, too because I think most of us feel what you have described.

Nicely penned, Cara!

Very sad very unselfish. Death is one of the hardest things to write about, but we cannot avoid.
your speaker seems to be very optimistic, brave, and caring.

Soft, gentle and strong words for love and concern.
"You'll live and forget it someday
But I'll still be there to hold your hand
When you feel that it is dark, when you feel that you're all alone
