When I'm Gone

Don’t you dare grieve me while I am still here

   They’ll be plenty of time for that when I’m gone 

Love me today

   Ask me to stay

     Don’t grieve me while I am still alive

If you miss me, tell me

   If you love me, let me know it

    If you care for me, show it

Kiss me today

   While I still breathe

     Believe in you and me 

Grieve me when I am dead

   Never grieve me while I still love you

Never miss me when you can kiss me 

   Never doubt me while my heart still beats

Never let me go until you absolutely have to

   One day

I’ll be gone

    Forever

So never

   Grieve me

Before then.
