I waited for you, Your picture in a silver lockett, That I wear heavy against my chest. I bought you flowers on Christmas eve, And the rain that poored ceased, Then the sun came out to play. I wrote you a poem, One that you could not read, But I swear I felt your gaze. Then as I cracked a joke, Smilling at your headstone, I saw your famous grin, As you asked, "Why are you waiting? I've been with you the whole time."

Wait.
I waited for you, Your picture in a silver lockett, That I wear heavy against my chest. I bought you flowers on Christmas eve, And the rain that poored ceased, Then the sun came out to play. I wrote you a poem, One that you could not read, But I swear I felt your gaze. Then as I cracked a joke, Smilling at your headstone, I saw your famous grin, As you asked, "Why are you waiting? I've been with you the whole time."
