When I Die

When I die..
Put sunflowers in my hair, dress me 
in white and lay me to rest.
Put me on a raft and let me drift to a 
land unknown.

Tell him I loved him..
with all my heart
With every bone in my body
With every breath I took
… I loved him..

Tell him I’m in a better place with no 
pain & sorrow.
Tell him I forgive him.
And he can’t hurt me anymore. He 
was the best and worst thing that 
ever happened to me.

When I die..
Put sunflowers in my hair, dress me 
in white and lay me to rest. Put me on 
a raft and let me drift at sea.
But please don’t forget to tell him I 
loved him.

Though well written, this poem is sad and yet lovely. That same love you're deserving of.
