When I Die

when i die 
don’t tell me that you loved me 
don’t tell me that you were there for me 
don’t tell me that i was too young to go
i’d seen everything i needed 
i saw the pain that the world gave me
i drowned in the sadness of the rain and suffocated on the pain of oxygen 
don’t tell me that you miss me 
or that you’re sad i’m gone 
because i’ve been gone for a long time

Hi Keiera, it's best to say these things while we're alive.
