An old friend was talking to his wife
she's been gone for several years,
he was leaning on her headstone
and his eyes were full of tears.
Saying how much he missed her
the pain was still so fresh,
never fully recovering
from the agony of her death.
He loved her with all his heart
and for nearly all his life,
she was the only woman
he ever wanted for his wife.
Never having said goodbye
their conversation still went on,
hoping she could hear him
as he talked there on the lawn.
No, he never could say goodbye
because their love had no end
besides, he longed and oh he ached
to say hello again.
