If I ain't alive tomorrow..

It was not many days back

when I was half asleep, and all at once,

this thought suddenly popped into my head.

"Just in case, If I ain't alive tomorrow...

Won't things stay the same on earth ?

Would anyone ever miss me ?

Would anyone ever care to call me back to life ?

Would anyone shed a single drop of tear ? "

As I picture that happening day,

I lay waiting in my coffin,

I don't find those familiar smiles

that faked to be so true.

But I see a loving couple

weeping for their daughter.

I see few of my close comrades

trying hard to bid a Bye.

My eyes caught its sight on a little angel,

who calls up memories of our childhood together.

I believe, like many,

the day is not very far, and as I get ready,

I hope to earn a few hearts

that would shed tears on my death,

that would care enough to call me back.

And who knows, what if,

God let me return to this place ?

And finally, to the fake ones,

try turning up, have a look at me,

once before I leave.

All these thoughts keep haunting me

for long hours of the day,

But then, I thought, If I ain't alive,

Would it really matter ?
