                                                   “A letter from Heaven”

When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes, filled with tears for me.

I wish so many you wouldn’t cry, the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you loved me, as much as I loved you, and each time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.

When tomorrow starts without me, don’t think were far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.
