Please keep my memory
     As a gentle reminder
         That you were loved
             Always by me.
Please don't ask me why
     I had to take my life.
It didn't mean I didn't love you.
There was nothing you could have done
     To take away the pain
          That controlled my soul.
I was overtaken by sorrow
     No more to laugh.
I couldn't face tomorrow
     My despair sure to last.
Please cry your tears of sadness
     That our life together is no more,
But please don't cry for the end of my life
     For my spirit now soars.
Don't try to understand
     Don't try to reason why?
Just know that I am with you always.
You will feel my presence when least expected.
When all is quiet and the world is still
     You will know I am there
        Smiling
And you will be comforted
     And you will know
        That it was okay for me to go.
No longer haunted by relentless agony,
I am with you in spirit,
Wiping your tears of sorrow
     Until we meet again.
