When I die


I want you to bury me. I want you to live longer than me. I want you to watch me die By my side If I were to die in an accident As selfish as anyone can be, I want you By my side Watching my blood stain your suit Your midnight black suit and your ivory white collar shirt And for you to hold me into your soul And watch me die Until my very last breath I never want to feel the pain of burying a lover I never want to feel the pain of saying goodbye And that is why I ask you To live longer And go through the pain on my behalf When I die, I beg of you- Burn me. Burn my body and contain my ashes in a crystal jar. A jar that is unbreakable yet clearly seen. And when you die, Burn your body. And next your ashes are mine I want your ashes next to mine. I want your ashes in the same crystal jar as mine. And together we will mingle forever in the same jar. Our ashes will be seen by the entire world And anyone who disapproved Of our relationship Will never be able to break through our crystal jar And only this way, We will truly become one. After death.
