#remember-me
I lie in bed at night Wondering what it would be like If I were dead Not a very pleasant topic I know But important none the less See, I don’t particularly want to die In fact I quite like living But sometimes Sometimes you just wonder Would they cry? Would they share funny memories? Would they know which poem I want read? (It’s Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep) Would they miss me? And most importantly, Would they remember me? After a while Would they still think of me? Or would I become A faded memory That only comes up When looking through old photos It may sound selfish But I want them to remember me Every year on my birthday I want them to feel sad for a minute Because they miss me Is that reasonable of me? To want to be missed And remembered When I’m gone
