If I Died Now
Nothing would change if I died now
I would still be by your side
I may be gone, but I'm not going anywhere.
Even though you cannot see me any longer,
just know that I'll be there.
At midnight when you are asleep,
I will watch over you until the sun rises.
Then, in the morning when you awake
we will spend the day together,
even though you are now alone.
I would not be sad if I died now.
Because, I would still have you near.
Tears would flow at the thought of
everything I can no longer do.
I would never find my one true love,
or be able to have children.
We wouldn't get to travel like you always wanted to.
But, I wouldn't let it depress me.
I hope you will not let it ruin your life, either.
I would want you to be happy,
and celebrate our favorite holidays.
It will be difficult without me around.
But, I would miss the fun if you didn't celebrate.
If I died now you wouldn't even know I was gone.
I would do what ever I could
to make you smile again.
I will hold your hand, when you are afraid.
And wipe away your tears, when you are sad.
I will blow the dark clouds away
so the sun can shine down on you.
It would rain on the flowers,
when you forget to water them.
Because, I know how those bright blooms make you smile.
I would wrap my arms around you on winter days,
and keep you from the cold.
I guess I would be your dark angel, your guardian.
Always there to protect you and keep you from harm.
I will love you no less than I ever did.
If I died now.
