If I should die, think only this of me
I was the ocean above the sand
I was the moon behind the darkness
I was your friend in deed
when you were in need.
I was a someone and not something.
My inspiration was my sincere imagination.
My support was my skyscraper of wanderlust.
I was the ultimate array of colour bursting into happiness.
My life was a rollercoaster full of high expectations
Filled with the presence of ups and downs, highs and lows.
I lived for a tomorrow that never existed.
My soul will rest in a blanket of serenity.
