The Graveyard

As I drive up to the graveyard
There's one thing on my mind
I want to be buried next to you
And between us you will find

A dozen fake red roses
Because they will never fade
To represent my love for you
In one important way

The roses won't ever die
And neither will our love
I hope you feel the same way
When you look at me from above

On my tombstone, in big letters,
"Let's never again be apart,
I love you so very much,"
And below it, a small heart.

In small letters, just below,
"I could've held onto you forever
But that's just not enough.
Your presence I always treasured."

As I think about it harder,
I know that's what I'll do.
Because I don't want to sleep without
My one and only you.
