You Didn't Know Me
You didn't know me
Still, you can say hi,
If you stop someday
When out walking by
I'm just a name now
First, middle and last,
Above two carved dates
Important to my past
All that is buried now
Under moss and stone,
Left to rest in peace
To lie here all alone
So, wonder and remember
Leave me a flower, do,
For one day you will say
You didn't know me, too.
