'Should Tonight Be My Last Night'

Should tonight be my last night,
I want to leave you this:
Know there's nothing else
You could've done.
There are no more clues
You might have missed.

Perhaps in my footsteps,
I leave behind little pieces of me.
Keep these pieces close to you,
And through them, please,
Remember me.

Don't think of me as that girl
Who was broken beyond repair.
Don't think of the tears I've shed,
And that all I had was despair.

Please remember me and
All the good times that we've had.
Remember me as a friend,
There for you in the good and bad.

Have I ever made you laugh?
Did I ever make your day?
Will you remember my warmth,
Even though I've gone away?

I have always dreamt that
I will be remembered by the world;
That I will not be forgotten,
And my name, a golden word.

If tonight shall be my last night,
I risk being forgotten and lost in time,
Just another life cut short,
Fading from memories of people
I leave behind.

But if I somehow made you happy,
And somehow soothed your pain,
Then maybe, when I die, it won't matter
If the world will never know my name.
