In an upside-down garden

I have a favor to ask you,
would you do something for me?
Would you help me with a task,
that lies ahead of me?
Would you go with me to the cemetary,
to put flowers on her grave?
To say goodbye to her again?
To try and let go of the pain?
I have a favor to ask you,
would you hug me if I cry?
Even if you don't understand,
my reason for crying,
would you still hug me,
and tell me that everything's alright?
Would you go with me to the cemetary,
or would you be to busy to care?
I have a favor to ask you,
would you help me let go?
Would you make me strong again?
Would you try and help at all?
Would you try and take my pain,
make it your own and understand,
instead of just pushing me away?
I'm just asking.

Someone once taught me that it doesn't matter what other people think of you as long as you like yourself.  That's what I live by.

I like this one. It's sad though. The last line was really good. I liked it

Allysa.. *hug*  Who could ever say no to that plea?
I hope that things work out.  This must be a very hard time of year for you.  I hope that you have someone there with you when you go.  No one should ever have to do something like that by themselves.
