I sit here in the cemetery, looking at the colorful array of plastic roses that now decorate your new resting place. 
It shouldn't be. 
We both know that I know that you shouldn't be resting here. 
 you should be at home with us. 
We both know that you aren't meant to be here. 
I sit here and have a conversation with you waiting for you to say something back. 
You told me 'no tears' but I can't help but cry a river when it comes to you. 
You shouldn't be here. 
This isn't your home.
 But I do know where your new one is, I know that you are rejoicing in heaven watching over me, but that doesn't take the pain away. 
That doesn't make me miss you any less. 
So here I sit. 
Getting you caught up on all the gossip, 
I miss you. 
I shouldn't be you 
You shouldn't be here. 
But here I sit. 
I'm waiting for your ghost, but I know that the only time I will walk with you once again will be when we enter those pearly gates. 
Until then I will say hello to every cardinal I see
Until then I will think of you when I see purple. 
Until then I will talk to you. 
Waiting for your response.
