Remember me
When I was 6 years old,
And had a missing front tooth,
And freckles covering my tiny body.
Remember me
When I was 14, a teenager,
And had acne and braces,
And trouble with public speaking.
Remember me
When I was 18, finally an adult,
And my future was ahead of me,
And no plans were being made.
Remember me
When I was a daughter,
A cute little girl,
And a rebellious teenager.
Remember me
When I was a sister,
A little one, and then an older one.
Remember me
When I was a friend
A loyal companion,
And a secret-keeper.
Remember me
When I was in love,
And was loved back,
And didn't care about the cliches.
Remember me
When I was alive,
And my heart was beating,
And my cheeks were blushing,
And I was smiling.
Remember me
When I'm gone.
