Remember Me

To the living, I am gone. To the sorrowful, I will never return. To the angry, I was cheated, but to the happy, I am at peace, and to the faithful, I have never left. I cannot speak, but I can listen. I cannot be seen, but I can be heard. So as you stand upon a shore, gazing at the beautiful sea, as you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity, remember me. Remember me in you heart; your thoughts and your memories of the time we loved, the times we cried, the times we fought, the times we laugh. ..for if you always think of me, I will never have gone.
