I had loved you since as a child,
I never had the courage to express my feelings,
We parted and never met,
But fate had other plans.
You got married and I died on the same day.
We met at the crossroads,
You were in a Lamborghini,
I was in a hearse,
My soul saw you as a radiant bride,
I had always wished to see you as one.
You carried a bouquetΒ Β in your hands,
I had a wreath on my coffin,
People came to the church for your marriage,
People came to the church graveyard for my burial.
The priest read your marriage vows,
The priest read my last rites.
At your wedding the family cried with joy,
At my burial the family cried with sorrow.
Both had a grand reception,
Yours, with dance, music and a toast,
Mine was sober with some eulogies.
Adieu my love,
Be happy.
