(She is kissing) The Roses
 
"She is the one I am in love with,"
I tell my best friend
But she is not listening
"She is the girl who can make me feel like me,"
"Her eyes are my universe, their shine my life."
"She likes to kiss, with her eyes closed.'
I tell my best friend,
But my best friend is not listening.   

I hope that she listens to me,
That she understands me,
That she is the one,
I have been talking about.
But she is not listening,
She is kissing
Kissing the roses
With her eyes closed
Like she likes it
Just two feet away from me
She is kissing the roses
The roses on her grave.
