A Single Yellow Rose

There's a single yellow rose, that I put on your headstone. Every day I come to visit, stare at your picture on my phone. We were sent to war together, always went on patrol at night. I can remember a few times, when we almost lost that fight. That night that you lost your life, it tore my world apart, You were always like a brother, that remains deep in my heart. So I place a single yellow rose, on top of your headstone. And I will never forget you, I keep your picture on my phone.
