Love Me before I Die… Not when I'm Dead... Care for Me…
“Love Me before I Die… Not when I'm Dead... Care for Me... Not when I'm Dead cos I won't be able to feel it… Please don't cry when I'm Dead cos I won't be able to Hear it!!!! You may ignore me now but I won't be able to hear you if you wish to talk to me on my grave...! You may put some of my favourite flowers on my grave but how could I enjoy it when I'm Dead?”
