Do not weep over my grave
Do not waste your tears and lilies
Do not clutch at the hand of your almost lover

Do not read a eulogy
Do not pretend to have liked me
Anymore than you were forced to love me

Do not have a party
Do not celebrate my life
Do not force my memory

All I ask is take my ashes
Away and to the sea
And bury me below the waves

Do not waste your life to miss me

If I had to sink or swim
To save your life or mine
We'd be each other's anchors
And stay alive for days

Across the breaking ocean
Beneath the crashing seas
I'll kiss you as we float along
The seeping crystal waves

And when we say goodnight
The salty final time
We'll drift as silver specters
Asleep and always dreaming
