Slumber

Randy,

I think of you everyday. I can't help it. I just want things back the way they were. But I can't do that knowing your heart is no longer mine. I doubt it ever was. It is now on the road to somewhere more divine.

I hear sad songs on the radio and can't help but to cry. Every word, every phrase, reminds me of you. I see couples walking down the street, hand in hand, with love in their eyes. We were once like that.

Where did we go wrong? Where was the error? I only wish things would've worked out. I remember once when you loved me unconditionally. I had no fault and our love was invincible. Indestructible.

Yet somehow it was torn apart, and my heart was torn in two. 

I, of course, overreacted. But I was caught by surprise. I was hurt, shocked, I felt invaded. A man I thought I knew came out from disguise.

But no matter the road I take in life, I'll always remember the highway I shared with you. I'll remember the sleepy look in your eyes as you tried to hold back your slumber. I'll remember always the songs you left me, and the last words you wrote to me...

"I'll be dreaming of you tonight, til tomorrow I'll be holding you tight. And there's no where in the world I'd rather be, then here in my room, thinking about you and me."

Love, Always and Forever
