Ghostly

Two spectral beings cuddle at a ghostly grave
One dares the other, they giggle, they dance
Together they feel brave

In life they loved
But circumstance kept them apart
now they stick together like glue
And love each other with their whole heart

'I love you, till death do us part'
Says one ghost to the other
'We're already dead '
They reply with a laugh
'Exactly', the other ghost smiles,
'So that means I'll love you forever'
The two ghosts hold hands for a while
'I love you too, my dear,
I love you with my whole heart'
