Message:  So much has past, never meant to last, always a memory of mine...
but not too long ago, a bright light did glow, and you always made it fine...

Cold nights out it the rain, warm lights up on the stage...
It's all the same pain, love wrings it's way through the rage...

One night I remember, Mickey had a bad day....I sat with him as he struggled to reach a sentence, and when he did it, it was all him, all he had....I couldn't believe he had gone to Nashville and recorded, just before he left I was so worried, I was bitchin at him for sneakin smokes and all the normal lecture stuff....and as he played his rough then final cuts I wondered if I could ever have the strength and perseverance and fortitude that my friend displayed, that with his weak smile he peered at me with that lingering sparkle in his eye, hanging on my expression to see my thoughts, and his satisfaction was always enough to overshadow all that was wrong...   I hope I can ever be that strong.
