This is not goodbye

This is not goodbye

As you watch my final breath
Please don?t you cry
For I have pleaded for my death
This is not goodbye

Please don?t question what you did
Or what you should have done
Happiness I was forbid
My race now has been run

I lost, but that?s just my fate
Please no sympathy
All your worries are far too late
I know my destiny

Your eyes are full of tearful sorrow
Please let me go
I can?t live for tomorrow
Time is my foe

As you stand by my coffin
Please don?t you weep
For I am free of hate and sin
Your love, now I keep

I am free from misery
Free from the pain
From my chains I am now free
Free to feel again

I will wait up here for you
As long as it takes
All your troubles, I?ll help you through
Even the smiles you fake

You were, my star at night
Guiding me through
Helping me to win my fight
Still my pain grew

Im sorry your efforts were in vain
Sorry I backed out
Sorry I lost the painful game
Sorry for my doubt

As you kneel at my grave
Please don?t break down
Please, for me, today be brave
Cant bear to see you frown

You have no reason to be sad
I am still here
I will chase away all the bad
Drive away your fear

I am the light to show your way
I am the sunrise every day
I am among the birds that soar
I am the ripples on the shore

Every second of every day
Every single hour
I am the waves causing the spray
I am each spring flower

Every minute that you feel pain
I will hold you close
I will be the soothing rain
Upon your burning woes

And when you?ve had your share of years
We will meet again
Whether that day is far or near
Nobody knows when

As you watched my final breath
Although you did cry
I hope you remembered what I said
This is not goodbye
