When I first saw those baby blues,
Staring back at me-
I knew I was in such trouble,
I was as helpless as can be!

Resistance was futile,
My world was in a spin-
It was almost effortless,
The way I let you in.

You grabbed my shattered heart
With a smile, all that was gone-
Because of you I was brand new
And I knew it couldnt be wrong.

Our love was fine, our life was grand
We lived life on a dime-
But a bullet one night ended your life
and it also ended mine.

A stranger came in with his gun,
I'll never forget his face-
He aimed at you and when it was thru
Your blood was all over the place.

"Goodbye my High School sweetheart-
The perfect love of my life...
I'm sorry I have to leave you now,
You'd have made a wonderful wife..."

As I watched your life fade-
I held your hand in mine,
Somehow I thought you'd be ok
And everything would be fine.

We buried you on a Wednesday.
I barely remember a thing-
I still cant wrap my mind around
That terrible, empty sting.

It's been almost 17 years
Since I felt your love so true-
There'll never be anyone for me,
Like my sweet "Baby Blue".


In Memory of Ricky

I've lost alot of BRO'S in that fashion, and will always be with me in
my memories.
