When Am Gone

When I’m gone,
Don’t say a word,
Just listen to the voice.

Soon will be the storm,
Then, the rain comes.
To me I can't feel it,
But to you it stings.

I know it’s hard,
Loosing someone can make you cry.
But I’ll always be there,
I promise to be near.
Even when things fall apart,
Believe that I’m not far.

But don't cry so much,
Cos your tears can sweep the dust,
They say it heals,
I saw they wouldn’t know how it feels.

When you miss me,
Just say the words sweetly,
And I’ll be a there in a jiffy,
Because “so much”, you mean to me.

You asked what you would do without me,
I answer “you will do better if you believe”,
Remember me on that day,
Remember the good, ugly and the bad taste.


Wish I was with you,
But there is nothing I can do,
Cos where I am is much better,
And when you get this, know it’s a happy letter.

I know it’s a little bit hard, 
But there is no need to be sad. (When I’m gone)
