Don'T Cry,Just Smile

If time would come,
that no voice you can hear.
And my breath is counted,
heartbeats are slowing.
Count the days you made me happy.
measure the time you made me worthy.
Think of how many times you made me smile,
Don't count the days I often cried.
And if the smoke has started to rise,
Don't try to look into my eyes.
I don't want to see you grieving,
Just make each seconds a worth to remember.
Kiss me so gently,don't let me down.
Hug me tight...envelope me with your arms.
Nose to nose whisper me softly,
Tell me the keywords to open the doorway.
Peacefully, my eyes will  close.
Taken with me the three magic words,
"I love you,"is a promise I'll be hold.
When time has come,
When the sky turned to grey.
Turn on the music I love to hear.
And when you feel so empty,
Open the box that I left,
I keep there our memories since we first met.
And when everything seems so hard to drive,
Don't cry, just smile...
Love me now.
I'm still here, still alive.
