Coming home
One day
Think it was about
6th grade
They told me you was gone
My emotions got turned on
Like jets in a hot tub
The one you used to have
Man that was the real stuff
I tried acting real tough
For my brother and sis
But I couldn't resist
From bawling
My faith it was falling
Asking God why he took you
Sitting in the front pew
Tryna get a good view
Of you one more time
Trying to picture you alive
That smell of wood
Kept me enlightened
Our one shared love
Tennessee Titans
First game
About 7 or 8
It was a snowy and cold
December day
In three layers I dressed
But it was the best
Didn't think
It would be our last
Time
Didn't even get to see me rhyme
We started at the bottom
Now I'm the only one that can climb
Wish you were alive
So I could tell you all the great things
From my first kiss
To my wedding ring
But I guess this will suffice
Wish we were cats with 9 lives
But I guess it was your time
It was tart like a lime
Didn't know it was coming
They said your heart it started running
You called 911
You said I'm losing this one
Heart stopped
Right after came the cops
And the paramedics
They said you were already dead and helpless
If I was there I would've pumped on your chest
Until
You were up and moving
I wish I could've said I love you
One last time
That in itself
Would suffice
But now all I have
Is a card and a hat
And a folded flag
And some dog tags
I would trade anything
To hear my phone ring
And see the caller ID
It'd just be you calling
Wishing my birthday to be happy
Don't get that luxury anymore
Much rather go to war
Than lose you again
They say I need to let go
You would say the same
But I don't know how
Don't wanna lose you forever
But you will always be in my heart
No matter the possessions
This is a tough lesson
Don't want it to end
But I guess it's time
To say goodbye my friend.
