Graveyard

They are gone; but not I 
I am alive. I am alive. 
Some say the hurt ebbs 
-over time-
But, alas my child
Time is fuel for loneliness 
Trust me, I know. 
Let's take a walk through the graveyard
Like the good old times
Maybe then
These memories will fade. 
Thank you, again
And know, one day
If we meet again
May it be among fond memories 
Not the pain of forgetting. 
So let's walk to the graveyard where our friendship was tied
Stay alive. Stay alive. Stay alive 'til I die. 
Back to that old place where our memories collide.
Whether dead or alive
That's where memories collide.
