Whenever You See My Face

Whenever you see
my face,
please try not
to cry,
for i'm in a much
better place,
as i did not
die.

I just knew it
was time to
embrace,
begin a new 
life,
and so i knew 
i could not
stay,
so i said
goodbye.

Whenever you see 
my face,
think of all the
times,
the promises we
made,
make no mistake
i'm keeping
mine.

Think back to the
days,
endless hours we'd
write,
think of what i'd
say,
if i could see you one last
time.

Whenever you see
my face,
smile but please don't
cry,
because although
i'm so far away,
this is not
goodbye.
