"You and I were friends from outer space
Afraid to let go, the only two who understood this place
And as far as we know, we were way before our time….."
~This Ain't Goodbye by Train
You will forever be a piece of me
A sliver of warmth wedged deeply into my heart and my psyche
You taught me to love deeply and risk greatly
Believing in the truth and not the norm
Allowing me to be the ‘me’ that was hidden away
Unpeeling the layers like the leaves of the artichoke
Until my essence was exposed
So glad that we have reached that pinnacle
That defines success for each of us today
Music and literature will forever tie the pages
Of our lives together
So glad that you won’t be traveling that road alone
So raise a glass to “the only two who understood this place”
I'll see you on the other side.
