Do Not Bring Flowers To My Grave. Poem by Meraj Ahmed

Do not bring flowers to my grave when I die,
Buy me a single rose on my birthday when I am still alive,
And that will be enough.

Do not shed loads of tears when I die,
Just give me your shoulders to cry on when I am still alive,
Do not tell the world how good I was, when I die,
Just tell me that you love the way I love you when I am still alive.
Do not come to my grave every week, when I die.
Just don't leave me alone to weep, when I am still alive.
Do not write poetries for me when I die,
Just scribble down my name on your palms, when I am still alive.
Do not sing love songs in my name when I die,
Just kiss me goodmorning when I am still alive.

And do not take your life too, when I die,
Be my heartbeat when I am still alive.
