Baby for nearly a year I've cried for you,
I've dreamed of us and all we shared
Sometimes it's like prison, no matter how fast I run
The memories are always faster.
You know this heart has always been yours
I owe this life to you,
We've both seen the faces of hell
Just in different forms
We kept each other strong.
The guys tell me you told them how much I meant to you
It brought tears to my eyes.
As time drags on though so does the misery
Pain and heartache have been my ball and chain.
My friends have dragged me to my feet
More times then any of us can count
Thank god for them.
I promised to love you forever
And that promise I'll keep
But it's high time to let go
Life cannot be rewound.
Remember those letters you wrote me?
I have them all
And that poem I wrote you
You know...the one that actually made you cry?
It was my very first one published.
I'm sorry if the pain I've felt has hurt you too
It's just I miss you so much..
And there was one thing I never got to do
I just want to say thank you...
Believe it or not you saved my life
Gave me wings of courage
Because of that I flew high above the nightmare I lived.
Thank you so very much for being the man you were
For loving me despite the differences.
You don't have to worry, I'll be okay
Your right-hand man has been there every time I start to fall
It's funny how life works out
Before you, soldiers were my biggest fear.
Now?
They have been the ones to hold me steady
When I cannot stand anymore.
I feel sort of silly telling you these things
Hell I don't even know if you can hear me
But know one thing..
No matter who's in my life
I'll never love them the way I loved you
Until the day we meet again take care of yourself, don't forget me
I love you,
...Tater
