When I’m Gone

By Joaquin Chavez

--

When I'm dead; do not mourn for me.

At my funeral, do not wear black.

Do not bring white flowers, do not have any bad blood for anyone who will be there. Wear as much color as you can.

Remember to laugh at the good times we had, the tragedies you and I endured, everything we have done for each other, remember the little things about me like the little things I remember you for.

 I wish for a world where people will not have to fear. Put that on my gravestone.

The last thing I would want from anyone is them being sad about me.

I'll always be around, just not physically.
