I have had something bothering me for quite a while now and this is what came to the surface. I have not written anything for 20 years or more. This is for my friend, Don.

I Miss My Friend

My handsome friend, you’ve been gone too long
“All My Ex’s Live In Texas” was your song
You’d two-step into my office to the beat
Your were always happy, even in defeat
I still miss you everyday
I lost my friend to talk with and now have nothing to say
Our boss hasn’t changed a bit
Now and again he still pitches a fit.
Some days I miss you so much I want to cry
As I remember the day that I told you goodbye
Do you remember? Did you know I was there?
I rubbed your arm and kissed your forehead and couldn’t help but to stare.
I think I know you were already gone
How would I act the next time I hear your song?
Well, I hear it from time to time
When it plays I say, “I miss you Don, all the time.”
I miss my buddy!

Sweet & beautiful lissa
