Gone Forever

 

Don’t think of me when I am gone
I don’t want you to grieve

Don’t talk about me when I am gone
I don’t want you to be sad

Don’t praise me when I am gone
I don’t want to be a mere afterthought

Don’t hate me when I am gone
I don’t want to be a symbol of abhorrence

Don’t love me when I am gone
It does not matter any more

Today matters,
not tomorrow when I am gone

Gone forever!
