Too Young To Go....

 

How can you be gone?

It still seems so unreal.

I dreamt of you the night you left.

Was that you saying good-bye to me?

I knew what happened before the phone rang.

I couldn't answer it.

I didn't want you to go.

Even though I had prepared myself for years,

the truth of the moment was just too much to handle.

 

I kissed you good-bye,

but you were so cold.

How could someone so warm be so cold?

The Rolling Stones still sing.

The Dallas Cowboys still play.

How could you not be here?

 

I loved you for what seems forever.

Half of my life at least.

Even though we went times without talking,

you have always been so much a part of who I am.

You taught me so much.

I can't believe that I'll never see you again.

Never talk to you.

Never touch you.

You were too young to go.

I still need you.

 

You are so much a part of me that my friends that had never met you cried.

They had heard so much about you over the years.

About how grateful I was for you.

Why are you gone?

 

I promise you that as long as I am alive,

a part of you will remain alive.

I'll carry you in my heart forever.

My world was improved immeasurably by knowing you.

By loving you.

 

All I have left of you are pictures, possessions and memories.

Thanks to your family, a couple things most treasured to you.

Know that I will keep them safe and treasure them always.

When I need to hold you, I'll hold them.

I hope you can feel me.

 

I promise to watch over your loved ones.

To keep you alive in their eyes too.

With funny stories of the times we spent together.

With our songs ... music was so important to you.

You made me a part of your family,

even if we never did walk down an aisle.

I'll tell them how much you loved them.

Especially Vickie.

I promise you to always make sure she knows how much you loved her.

 

Thank you, Johnny, for loving me.

Thank you for the wonderful friends and family you brought into my life.

For Vickie, Bob, Danny, Lilly, Gigi, Jeremy, Eddye, Jack and so many others.

Thank you for all the memories.

Snow angels, staying awake for the next song, living life to the fullest.

Thank you for teaching me so much.

The lessons weren't always easy, but they were valuable beyond compare.

 

Even in your death you have taught me something ...

how important it is to say I love you.

How precious friends and family are.

Thank you for allowing me to love you.

I did, with all my heart.

I feel so lost without you.

But even now, I know you are with me.

 

Rest in peace.

May God keep you always.

I will see you again some day.

Until then, always know I love you.
