I can't explain the sadness I felt the day you went away.
Even though your no longer with us in our hearts and minds you'll forever stay.
I thought about you when I woke up this morning, but that is nothing new.
I thought about you last night and days before that too.
I miss our conversations and how we would tag each other in our post.
I miss our Cowboys & Raider Nation talk, but I miss our conversations the most.
Now that your time with us is over, you can FINALLY get some rest.
While we are still here with broken hearts, because God only takes the BEST.
So now I have to say Goodbye but that doesn't mean this is the end.
It simply means I'll miss you my Friend until we meet again.
