"I am a thousand winds that blow,

 I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

 I am the gentle autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,

 I am the swift uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the stars that shine at night.

Please stand not at my grave and cry,

 I am not there I did not die."

You will always and forever be in our hearts.

I dropped a tear in the ocean. The day you find it is the day I will stop missing you.

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.

Ask me why I keep on loving you when it’s clear that you don’t feel the same way for me… the problem is that as much as I can’t force you to love me, I can’t force myself to stop loving you.
