"I've always wanted to meet you." You said to me that day,
And through all our trials and tribulations, you were always here to stay,
From rewards to recovery, you knew I'd never dash,
Because I was June, and you were my Johnny Cash.

"I feel like I know you already." I replied,
The only other thing I remember, is looking deep into your eyes,
Those black eyes that shone like agates, I could talk about them for hours,
They say the greatest films of all time were never made, but the exception is ours.

"Define paradise." They asked me, and of course I thought of you,
"This morning, with her, drinking coffee." I explained, as that was the only paradise I knew,
We spent our whole lives together, until death inevitably intervened,
It's a shame all of this money can't buy me a time machine.

"I can't fall in love with this man, but it's just like a ring of fire." You said, and we made it into a song,
Who knew singing it without you would feel so wrong?
I survived only four months without you, but I don't know how,
We were one of the greatest loves of all time, but we're over now.
