When I'm Gone

When I am gone

I will not feel the sunlight

But I will not know I am in darkness

As spring comes over the valley

I will not remember

How much I once loved the rain

I will not hear you

When you call my name

I am no longer there

I am nothing

I am gone

I have ceased to exist

It's a terrifying thought

But I know I will rest in peace

Simply because I will know nothing else

I will not recall

All that used to be.

There will be so much

I'll be missing out on

Life will carry on

The future generations will have fun

I'm glad they will be happy

They will have days

Have moments

With the ghost of my name

Written all over it

But they will never know, or even care

How much I would've loved it

And that I should have been there

But I guess you cannot miss

What you don't remember

Kinda makes me wonder sometimes

What's the point of a memorable life

Full of special things

If you'll just forget it all one day

And leave it behind?
