Nicky
I Miss You
~ A Brother's Love ~


by Sam Grosvold

Tears falling much too long;
Your drinks can ruin no more.
I have no room for your sorrow.
How to say goodbye.

My heart bleeds with no sense.
I will not damage my life another day;
I will not.
The pain's no more.

How we shared a love for one another!
The love I will keep, but how it hurts me.
I understand this now, so I can share it with you.

Shaking
Shaking hands as I write;
And tears will stay.
I miss you!

Maybe you will miss her, too.
I know it might be impossible for you, because who was she?
Only I have that knowledge, but if you ask,
I will gladly tell.

My hand won't stop shaking.
Please stop.
And let me go.
I will always love you!

When…when we see each other again,
I will smile.
Smile so big you will probably laugh at me.
That would be just like you,
Laughing at me!
-Hurt-
But who cares.

Never again will I feel sadness for you;
My love would be the sadness.
Wine and spirits have
Taken Yours.

Strong, so strong is the love!
I miss You,
You are Gone.
