growing old


and she said
we’d never drift apart
not in a million years

and she said
love never leaves the heart
even after death

but if the flowers should fade & wilt
and the angels should fly away
just know I won’t be afraid
as long as you’re near

and she said
there is a place beyond the sun
that never grows old

and she said
it never grows old

  2. I need to find that place. Now.
