What If I Am Gone? Poem by nahreen rahman

The certificate of death
Is ready to certify me as dead
But I like a hardrock
Is fighting for life
For I want to live life longer with you
Before I leave
I want to embrace you in my arms
And dream of conquering
All the happiness in the world.
For me nothing
But you only matter
Promise me,
That you will never let me go
For I wish to be with you
As long as I can.
I am ready to set the world on fire
Just to stay with you a second longer
For I love you with all that I am.
I don't want to paint
My life like Mills and Boons
Since even in such paintings
There is an end to the love story
Of the man and woman
Who are madly in love with each other
As I want my love story to continue for eternity
And want you to stay in front of my eyes
Till I go blind
Till I drown into my dreams
Where I know that
No death can certify me as dead
And nothing can stop me
From being with you
From loving you
