Is somewhere that we have been
Each time that I return there
I find myself in tears AGAIN...
What's funny is that, truth be told,
Our visits weren't my first
What made them all so memorable
Was how YOU made my heart near burst.
I can't seem to explain it right-
Or well- or understandably...
I just know each day was better
Since I had you there with me.
For the most part, I have to admit,
(I didn't realize at the time)
When you were there beside me
The hills were easier to climb.
So precious were those moments-
With each glance
And smile
And kiss...
Until you I never knew a love
So heartfelt could exist.
I know it isn't helpful
To place anger, guilt or blame
Losing you was SO uncalled for-
Such a devastating shame...
Regardless of the series of
unfortunate events
That man should NEVER be forgiven
No matter how much he repents.
Be it pride, or fear or
arrogance
What he did to you was WRONG-
"Life is no Nintendo game"
Or a rhythmic country song.
Life is:
LOVE
&
CARE
&
DEEP CONCERN
The desire to protect-
Whereas the actions of the Officer
Mirror those of
the Devil's own Rejects.
It breaks my heart a thousand ways
When I try to contemplate what kind of
Darkness he holds onto
To do something SO irate..?
Sadly, tho, no matter what is said
Or proven or undone
It can't reverse the damage
He inflicted with his gun.
The finality is the hardest part
To try and overcome...
We take so much for granted
It's as if we're almost numb.
In the midst of all the chaos
We forget, conveniently,
That the "stuff that dreams are made of"
Is encountered intermittently.
(For you, Brandon... RIP... XOXOX)
