A Letter To My Fireman

I'm not quite sure why But I miss you Now that you're gone I only see the good Your sweet smile, With your cute little dimples Your innocent eyes that gazed at me with adoration And how you'd hold me close When you knew I was upset-- really truly upset Do you remember that day I drove all night just to see you And when I wanted to cry I was afraid to But you proved me wrong And you were there for me It was the first time I really knew you felt for me For so long I wouldn't open up to you I held back my life from you And then one day When you stumbled upon my past And I was cornered into talking I was aftraid to But you proved me wrong And you were there for me Listening to every word It was the first time I really opened up to you You were great, and still now, you are truly a great person A friend, a son, a brother And in some way, even a hero But still, I'll always remember Though I hardly think of it I'll still recall You were plenty times Selfish Arrogant Inconsiderate and uncaring Always feeling the need to hide your feelings Your thoughts I understand you Really, I do You didn't have the greatest example the greatest life But it's no excuse for how you treated me The thing is I probably wouldn't have cared I probably would've stayed with you If I didn't like you so much but I did And even now, sometimes, I think I still do I hope that always, Life will treat you well And that in time, you'll be The man I know you are inside
