I'm right here

And when they tell you I'm gone
don't panic, sit still and wait
don't miss me nor look for me
for I'm right here
between your lungs
beneath your rib cage
and when it's almost dawn
and you can't fall a sleep
look for me in your books
I'll be right here
rhyming poems about how good you were to me
narrating novels about how much you knew me
lighting jasmine scented candles
and humming in your ears the prettiest lullaby
and as i watch you fall asleep
I'll catch every pretty dream that passes by
and kiss it into you really deep
and when you wake up
don't fall in love with me
don't remember me nor write to me
because they will tell you I'm gone
and this time you'll miss me
and you might even look for me
but won't find me near
because you were never here my dear ...
