Array ( [sid] => 32238 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Ode to August 26 th 2002- August 13th 2003 [time] => 2004-01-20 18:18:17 [hometext] => The best 11 months and 2 weeks of my entire life [bodytext] => A place I'd never heard of before
Scared and anxious for what might be in store
Small town Big heart
Accepting me right from the start
No questions asked, because I am part of the family now
The first few months were awkward but somehow
A miraculous change happened overnight
Everyday, no matter the weather, was sunny and bright
Memories now are within me so deep
That not even the most crippiling disease could keep
Me from cherishing them all
From the end of one summer to the start of the next years fall
Friends were something I never had before then
I have 4 now I can't exactly remember when
We first talked but it was't too long
Before our friendship grew strong
A year full of joy and many a tear
The only thing that I did fear
Was its ending, I wanted it to last forever
The thought of it ceasing made me shiver
And as the dooms day drew near
My heart was full of pain and fear
Why did it have to end?
Why to the past can I not send
Myself?, so that I can be there forever and always
My life is dull and dark now in so many ways
For the first time I felt friendship and kindness
Among the midst of it all my heart felt a most engulfing happiness
For the first time I felt love for another
I feel lke he is almost a brother
The brother I never had
My feelings cannot be expressed with the puny word called "sad"
My life is nothing now but trying to pick up the pieces of my heart
Why did ths new life have to start?
My life is waiting for them to come home
So that for a while my loneliness will leave me alone
My life is waiting for my joy to come back
For everything is black
My life is nothing without them
Nothing without him
Thank you Melba for everything you gave to me
I only wish I could see
It go on and on and be a neverending story
For now life is bleak and I am weary
But I still have my tears and my memories of what once was the best times I've ever had; they were better than I could have ever even dreamed of
Because they were full of such love
I will always have a part of Melba with me
But now from all the tears I cannot see
Anything else, I want my life , Melba, my friends and him back here with me
For no bright future do I see
I see long years of mourning
For a year that is now dead
I see long years of longing
My life is gone My life is dead
Thank you Melba for giving me a grand and happy time I shall always cherish in my heart
I did from the start
