Visiting a Friend

I'm glad I came to see you today,
since we last met, my life has been in a little disarray,
but there was something about the orange in the sky,
I couldn't help but think of you when I looked up high,

I was thinking about the fall when we made those crazy face pumpkins,
and how my heart quickened when your hand brushed my skin,
I was also thinking about those romantic picnics on the car park rooftop,
and how one night we were interrupted by a traffic cop,

they say absence makes the heart grow fonder,
but it's so hard when you're too far yonder,
so in the meantime I will visit you at this special place,
and in a sense we are face to face,

I don't mind doing all the talking,
and in my mind we're always somewhere walking,
you've got me crying again, telling me how I should be brave,
but I was going to cry anyway standing at your grave.
