Instead

This poem is beyond all relationships

But made for us all

When I'm dead.

​Your tears will flow

But I won't know

​Cry with me now instead

​You will send flowers,

But I won't see

Send them now instead

​You'll say words of praise,

But I won't hear

​Praise me now instead!​

​You'll forget my faults,

​But I won't know

​Forget them now, instead!​

You'll miss me then,

But I won't feel

Miss me now, instead​

​You'll wish

​You could have spent more time with me,

Spend it now instead

​When you hear I'm gone, you'll find your way to my house to pay condolence

But we haven't even spoken in years

Please look for me now instead
