Mike

Your smell hangs over
the dusty film on the dashboard
of that muscle car
Looking back on it now
I wonder how we got this far
But here we were and now there you are

Your eyes still hold me in this place
I can hear your voice
Reverberating in space
Your gentleness lingers on my skin
I can't stop thinking that I'll never see you again

The way you always made me smile
The way you teased and how we walked those miles
Conversation flowing so steadily between
We both thought it felt somewhat like a dream

I am going to miss how you always understood
I knew I could always call
And you knew I always would
I wish I could have said goodbye
I wish I could have said thank you one more time

I wish I could tell you so I'd know you knew
How much I really did appreciate you
You were the most tender and loving man to ever grace my life
I am so glad I knew you
And you allowed me to be that special part of your life

Thank you for sharing your heart with me
For letting me love you and for loving me
Thank you for your children that you have left behind
I promise to help them never forget their father in time

Christmas couldn't come soon enough
Who knew that missing you would be this tough
