cemeteries

What is the fascination with cemeteries. I mean i am drawn to them. There is a really cool one where i live. they seem so romantic yet freaky, dark, yet full of hope. I love walking through and reading all of the engravings learning about the people from the past. Wondering bout their lives and importance and what they could have done to change the course of the future. Thee people may have been related to me or Friends of people in the past possibly even enemies. They seem peaceful and quiet. Looking at families bringing flowers for those who touched them, those who are gone but definitely not forgotten.
