If I should die before tomorrow comes, Cry not one tear, Carry on ignoring me like you did the day before,
If I should die before tomorrow comes, Carry on laughing, partying and living, With the wonderful friends you said were better than me,
If I should die before tomorrow comes, Don’t spend a single second crying for what we could have had, For in this life I have already done enough of that,
If I should die before tomorrow comes, Keep believing you were right and I was wrong, Don’t feel one ounce of guilt for a second of lost time, As time has moved on,
If I should die before tomorrow comes, There’s really no need to remember me at all, As what I wanted was your love while I was living, Not your tears because I’m now gone.

This is the very first poem I wrote. I never knew that three years on I’d have written hundreds more. I was at the darkest time in my life and though the last few years haven’t been easy, I feel I have made a lot of progress.
I really just picked up a pen and just wrote what I was going through and feeling. Sentimentally, this is still my favourite thing I’ve written.
That's All Write
