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)
