If a rose were known by any other name,

   would it truly be as sweet;

if I hold your hand and kiss your lips,

   would you remember where we first did meet?

If I bared my soul for all to see

   and laid me heart at your feet;

would you remember to the very last,

   the time we first came to meet?

When I finally pass on and the bugle sounds

   the final notes of my defeat;

will you promise, as you look down,

   to come to a new place to meet?

Always will go where you are, it is where I belong.

To hell with its gates of gnashing teeth,
where your soul may fester and seethe,
but better heaven where your lips are sweet,
would be the final place to meet.
My final place will always be,
the place that my heart calls me.

Looks like you have your answer.

I couldn't help but think of Romeo and Juliet. The writing is simple, yet well choice in words. Nice job.
