Don't bury me next to you No, I don't want to be buried next to you, no matter how beautiful the cemetery is, no matter how solid our caskets are, I don't want to be buried next to you, because, next to you is too far away from you. This is how I want to be buried: I want to be held in your arms, with our fingers locked, even if what remains of you is only a skeleton. I want to turn my face to you, have my gaze forever fixed on you. my legs interwined with yours, my head rested on your chest as my pillow. I don't want my own casket, I don't need a tombstone. Like those butterfly lovers, I will jump into your tomb. So, please, don't bury me next to you.
