Memories

Like veterans 
Home from war
I miss you 
As you were once
At my bedside
Like a stone 
I am forever rolling
Roaming 
toward a reluctant
Destination

Apologies my friend
I truly will miss you
I am sorry 
I was just wondering 
If i'd ever see you again
Here's to you my friend

Discomfort
The coldness
That warms us all
Do as you will 
But I became 
One to beg upon
Your absence
As you were once
Along side my bed

Apologies my friend
I truly will miss you 
I am sorry
I was just wondering
If I'd ever see you again
Sincerely

"Memories of a few good men"
