They said that you were dead
yet this I did not believe.
Your youthful face gazing
back from my vivid dreams.

They pointed out your tomb
made from marble.
Yet this I did not believe.
Even as I gazed upon it myself.

I stood in silent awe, as birds
twittered nearby.
My eyes scanning the reflective stone.
Listening for your silenced voice.

Yet I still did not believe.

The sun had set, plunging the
world into silent night.
Bats swooped around my
bowed head.

Yet I still did not believe.

The lid grated softly and I stared.
A whitish mist rising and flowing
toward me.
This I did not believe.

I stood watching as the column
Formed and moulded into
human features.
Now I believed.

I smiled as you smiled.
I laughed as you laughed.
I panged as you drank.

Yes now I believe.

Now we are together my love.
Together for all eternity.
Together as the un-dead.

Oh yes, now I believe.
