Before I Die…

Let’s write my tribute now,

Shall we?

I want to hear it

And cry with you

Before I go

Let’s write my tribute now

I do not know where I’ll be

When I leave

I can’t miss all that love

Let’s hear it now

Must I die before you reflect

On my life with you?

Look back…

Let’s recount memories

Start from the day

I stepped into your life

Tell me the difference I made

Capture each moment

In a glass vial

Tell me I’m talkative

That I laugh too hard

I cry too much

Tell me I’m stubborn

And relentless

Remember 

All the cakes I baked

Remember 

Each scoop of ice cream

Walks up the hill

Remember

My row with each nurse

That particular one

With that trotro mate

Remember

Every single poem I wrote

Every note I sang

Every character

I created

Name them

One

by 

One

Remember

The love

Our love

The fights

The rage

The temper

The sad times

Remember

Each chat

Each shallow lie

Each deep truth

Record them all

I’m half-gone

The other half

Of time

Is on fast-forward

Read it to me

A line a day

It’s mine

Not theirs

Whisper it to me

My tribute
